Constantin,

Are you certain your path for root and user are letting you get to the 
same version of VIM?

If you have not found a solution, you might consider visiting  this URL 
http://www.vim.org/community.php and subscribing to the VIM mailing 
list.  It's at least as helpful as this one and more likely to help you 
solve a VIM specific issue.
