i've got

"   vim: set foldmethod=marker

at the bottom of my ~/.vimrc and for reasons i have yet to discover it
opens up with
foldmethod=manual and

:verb set fdm?

tells me nothing about who set it, just that it's manual

have there been any recent updates to the processing of modelines?

the modelines option is 5, and i've tried putting it at the top and
bottom, but it still
is being ignored
