Bug#608242: With :set nocompatible, vim -w or -W records extra garbage keystrokes

[Josh Triplett]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.035+hg~8fdc12103333-1
Severity: normal

vim -w or -W records all the keystrokes entered in Vim. With :set
nocompatible, either in .vimrc or interactively, the output will start
with three garbage characters, \x80\xfd\x35 . With :set compatible,
the garbage characters don't appear.

This came up in the vimgolf.com competition. :)
