The problem is caused by vim, though it doesn't have a bug, and the symptoms are in vim. Maybe sudo should be modified, maybe some other package should put an empty .viminfo in /etc/skel, or maybe there's another solution. When the appropriate package is identified to apply the solution to, I'll assign this bug to that package. Meanwhile you're putting an awful lot of energy into making sure this doesn't get fixed. Please don't.
