Think I might have a clue... As the box is fundamentally a Windows one (running with CYGWIN) I thought I'd configure my home directory so that I could use either the Cygwin version or the native version by using the native window naming conventions (vimfiles, _vimrc, _gvimrc) and then soft-linking them to the UNIX-style names (.vim, .vimrc, .gvimrc). The theory being that WIndows would work using the real names and Cygwin would understand the '.' notation and use that. However, I never use native Vim on windows so I decided to move back to real Unix-style naming... and since then the warning hasn't appeared.
