I may be missing something, too, but I think you're right. I didn't think about that enough during the PR review. The location of the user's vim directory should be determined by searching that prioritized list of places and selecting the first one that is actually a directory or a link to a directory. The location of the user's vimrc should be determined separately. It should be $HOME/.vimrc if it exists, else vimrc under the directory found above.
