I have the same problem, never took time to figure out how to fix it. Start Vim with: vim -u NORC -N Edit a directory with lots of files, move to halfway the list. Press Enter, then :e #. I end up at the top of the listing. If after Enter I use CTRL-O I end up at the bottom of the listing. In both cases using '" takes me to where I wanted to be.
