When running VIM from a subshell (ksh Version AJM 93t+ 2010-02-02) I am

However, if I run VIM from the login shell these features work fine.

What about running VIM in a subshell might cause these features to not work
properly?

This sounds suspiciously like two versions/builds of vim are on your system, one being found by the login-shell and one being found by the sub-shell. In each shell, what is the output of

  ksh> which vim
  ksh> alias

Perhaps your login shell sets an alias that isn't set in the sub-shell?

Finally, it would be useful to capture the output of ":version" both in the case where it *does* work and the case where it *doesn't* work. The comparison would prove useful.
