I can easily work around this. I submitted this bug because:
a) it took me quite a while, even with help from #vim, to figure out why these
things weren't working
b) it's probably not atypical that the first file edited after a fresh install
must be edited as root
c) the failures happen quietly
therefore
d) I suspect quite a lot of users have a root-owned .viminfo that prevents vim
from operating correctly, whether they're aware of it or not.
I can live with this bug being rejected, but I'd appreciate it if
someone put some thought into it first. Maybe there could even be a
discussion.
** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu)
