> :s/\%V504\503/g I guess you meant :'<,'>s/\%V504/503/g (though it is not related to the issue: s/\%V504\503 should not show «Invalid character after \%»). I don't see any way to disable \%V neither at compile time nor using some option, so maybe you have just typed \%v (note the case) instead? I guess it may also appear due to too old vim. According to the help (:h new- items-7) \%V was introduced in vim-7.0, so if you have older vim it won't work.
