Try creating a new user with a minimal vimrc and see if it goes away?
I run vim7 under gentoo with zero problems (I'm using the vim-ruby gem
for the ruby-specific stuff and matchit.vim). Here's my vimrc:

set nocompatible
syntax on
filetype on
filetype indent on
filetype plugin on
set sw=2
set ignorecase
set smartcase
set showmatch
set incsearch
