This sounds like a known problem caused by one of the 'backup' options. If I
remember correctly you should be able to ":set backupcopy=no" and then
attributes won't get deleted.
Not sure why it doesn't happen in normal vim though...

In case it helps, I can reproduce this with Vim 7.4.430 under Linux/amd64. I
lose all extended attributes (set with setfattr) as soon as I modify the file
with Vim. setting backupcopy=no during an edit session had no effect.

Update: the actual solution is ":set backupcopy=yes" instead of the default
"auto". Explanation: http://edeca.net/wp/2009/08/vim-vs-linux-extended-acls/ :)
