Steps to reproduce:

The issue seems to be related to /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/archlinux.vim, line 19-21, since it did not occur with vim-8.0.1476-1 and below.
This task depends upon

Honestly I don't get the point of this file at all. Said CVE workaround ignores XDG_CONFIG_HOME (and why would I want to put my swap files into vim configuration in the first place?) and the file in general imposes dubious features that should be set by user or system administrator.
