I found the problem. It was my doing.
I have an after ftplugin for vim files, ~/.vim/after/ftplugin/vim.vim,
that forces the 'fileformat' of all vim files to "unix" by executing
:setlocal fileformat=unix
One of the buffers used by Splice had 'modifiable' set to "off", and
contained a vim file, so when my plugin tried to set the 'fileformat',
Vim rejected the setting with the error message shown.
The reason I hadn't seen the error before was that this was probably
the first vim file I had encountered that needing merging. It had
nothing to do with this being a recent version of Vim.
My solution will be to not make that setting if the buffer is not
modifiable.
Sorry for the noise.
Regards,
Gary
