tl,dr: Did vi/vim change from /etc/alternatives to an alias?
$ ls -l $(which vi) $(which vim)

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root Administrators 3565587 Dec 12 09:07 /usr/bin/vim.exe
they are two different binaries
$ ls -l vi vim

$ grep -rH alias .
./profile.d/vim.csh:alias vi vim
./profile.d/vim.fish:alias vi vim
./profile.d/vim.sh: # for bash and zsh, only if no alias is already set
./profile.d/vim.sh: alias vi >/dev/null 2>&1 || alias vi=vim
it is the default if both vi and vim are installed
and it was in the cygwin package by long time

I just updated vim packages (including vim-minimal and vim-common) to 9.0.2155-1
I've got the same version installed
$ grep '^vi' cygcheck-srv_2023-12-17.txt
vim 9.0.2155-1 OK
vim-common 9.0.2155-1 OK
vim-minimal 9.0.2155-1 OK
Now when I run 'vi', I get this:
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim90/filetype.vim:
line 11:
<.. snip ..>
and so on.
is you use /usr/bin/vi, you will bypass the alias and
hitting the same problem
/usr/bin/vi is loading plugin intended only for vim
I will need some time to dig in the issue
