I am not sure how to invoke vim, or what options I use that would affect
it (read: I know of no options I have set to change the default
behavior), but I use 'gqap' to format the current paragraph. Works a
treat, even with quotes... (I love 'gqap' BTW.)

Hmmm, don't use them? :)
Let's see... you get 'A', 'B', etc, in insert or in command mode? I
can't reproduce either situation with 5.8 (std debian(x86) potato
package here). Perhaps it has something to do with your terminal/OS.
Looks like 5.8 works though?
good luck!
