Bug#441315: vim-runtime: error detected while processing debchangelog.vim if editor is set to gvim

Package: vim-runtime
Version: 1:7.1-056+2
Severity: normal

To reproduce the bug

$export EDITOR=gvim; echo $EDITOR
gvim

# download the source of any package and cd into it
$apt-get source guile-1.8
$cd guile-1.8-1.8.2+1/

# now execute dch --nmu to write a changelog
$dch --nmu

then gvim gives the following errors

"debian/changelog.dch" [New File]
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim71/ftplugin/debchangelog.vim
line 282:
E490: No fold found

the "dch --nmu" command works fine if the EDITOR variable is set to vim.
The problem arises only when EDITOR variable is set to gvim.

BTW, how does one capture this kind of error? The error stays on the vim
window only for couple of seconds. I had to execute "dch --nmu" several
times to write down the complete error message.

thanks
