Mysteriously, the $MANPATH was empty when vim was called as manpager and caused 
the  
issue of this thread. Setting

export MANPAGER="env MANPATH=${MANPATH} vim -RM +MANPAGER -"

worked around it. 

Also,

export MANPAGER="env LANGUAGE=${LANG} $vim -RM +MANPAGER -"

ensures that the manpages are displayed in the user's preferred language. 

Thus the question: Should the documentation :help manpager recommend setting

export MANPAGER="env MAN_PN=1 MANPATH=${MANPATH} LANGUAGE=${LANG} vim -RM 
+MANPAGER -"

(instead of export MANPAGER="env MAN_PN=1 vim -RM +MANPAGER -") ?
