I got this just trying to pass the flag --with-override-system-vim and was solved by this: https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/issues/546#issuecomment-330986310

[faraazkhan]

Agreed, https://github.com/macvim-dev/macvim/issues/546 is the underlying issue. Closing this now. Thanks @reidblomquist for pointing this out.
