You may want to change that to

  set editor="vim -c 'set tw=72' +1"

Right now, it's parsed in three parts,

  "vim -c "
  set tw=72
  " +1"

And the middle quotes disappear.  This may or may not affect things, I
don't remember if Mutt is sensitive to unquoted spaces in the $editor
setting.  But since you're having trouble with $editor, I'd fix it
anyway.

To see what Mutt really thinks the editor commandline is, try the
":set ?editor" command, don't just read the .muttrc... (Maybe you did
do this, but you didn't say.)
