Any subsequent synchronous commands do not work,
or any subsequent async (&) commands do not work ?
Can you possibly try strace to see exacty why exactly 2nd command
loses its tracks:
:!strace -f sh -c 'touch xyz&"

Just the async (&) command stop working. Synchronous commands are
fine. I tried strace, but it fails with ERROR: Unable to open
/dev/log. I don't have permission to access the log.
