I have the vaguest memory that '|' might be special in exrc...

In my mutt configuration, I call vi with this environment setting:
EXINIT="source ~/.nexrc|set wl=72"

A quick check confirms that '|' also works as a command separator
in exrc, so it's not clear to me if there is an actual bug or if
you are fighting against a poorly documented feature.
