"E475: Invalid argument: VimwikiLinkRest contained..." when starting vimwiki

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. open vim
2. try to start a new vimwiki using \ww

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect vimwiki to start with a blank wiki. However, I get the following error:

E475: Invalid argument: VimwikiLinkRest contained `\%(///\=[^/ 
\t]\+/\)\zs\S\{12,}\ze\%([/#?]\w\|\S\{15}\)` cchar=~  contained transparent 
contains=NONE

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vimwiki-2-0-stu, vim version 7.2.445, Debian squeeze (stable)

Please provide any additional information below.
Commenting out lines 332-334 of .vim/syntax/vimwiki.vim allows vimwiki to work, 
though presumably without shorting long URLs.

Hmmm ... this is puzzling.  Looks like a settings issue, an install issue, or a 
conflict with another plugin.

What settings/options have you set that relate to vimwiki?

Are there any old vimwiki files, from previous installations, in your runtime 
directory (~/.vim/)?

Can you reproduce this on another machine?  Or without any other plugins?  One 
way to test this involves temporarily moving ~/.vim to ~/vim-backup, and 
re-installing vimwiki in a blank ~/.vim/ directory?  (Be careful not to lose 
your .vim/ setup during these changes)!!

Vim 7.2 has no conceal feature as far as I remember.

See Issue 256

Thanks for the suggestions! I have tried on another machine with the same 
software versions (Debian squeeze, vim 7.2.445) with both a blank ~/.vim/ 
directory and a minimal .vimrc (containing only the three lines on the 
prerequisites page (set nocompatible, filetype plugin on, syntax on)).

Unfortunately I am still getting the same error. I had noticed issue 256 though 
assumed as the error I am getting doesn't mention 'conceal' it was a different 
thing?

It looks like regression bug for me. With 7.2 vimwiki should work without 
concealed parts of text.

Could you remove 'contained' from line 332?
It should look like this:
execute 'syn match VimwikiLinkRest `\%(///\=[^/ \t]\+/\)\zs\S\{'

and test if it works for you without errors?

Still pretty much the same:

E475: Invalid argument: VimwikiLinkRest `\%(///\=[^/ \t]\+/\)\zs\S\{12,}\ze\%([/
#?]\w\|\S\{15}\)` cchar=~  contained transparent contains=NONE

Could you remove 'cchar=~' and check if error is gone?

Hello, running in the same issue here, debian squeeze too.

Seems to be working without the error if I remove 'cchar=~'.
