I was afraid you were going to say something like that. I don't
know what changed to cause your vimrc_example.vim to start having
that effect.
BTW, last year was 2011.

":help tw" says that the setting is local to buffer, but that
doesn't really describe the behavior. The behavior is supposedly
described in ":help option-summary", but that doesn't match my
observations.
I started vim as
vim -N -u NONE a
and executed
:set tw?
I saw the result "textwidth=0" as expected. Then I did the
following:
:set tw=50
:split b
:set tw?
textwidth=50
Again, as expected.
:set tw=60
:wincmd w
:set tw?
textwidth=50
:split c
:set tw?
textwidth=60
I would have expected the 'textwidth' of buffer c to be 50, since
buffer a was the active buffer/window when ":split c" was executed.
