I'll politely disagree with you on this one. The user has resized the window, and that applies to all the applications running in that window. Both vi and its subshell are running there.
I'd find it strange if, for some reason, I shrunk the window for some reason when in a subshell, and when I returned vi used the terminal size settings from before the resize. So now I'd have some of my text off the edge of the screen or something else strange. It seems to me it violates the "least surprise" principle. Your idea of changing the size back to the old size is one way to solve it, the other way, which seems more intuitive to me, is to have vi pick up the new size.
