Sounds like something is doing set syntax=fugitiveblame before Vim has finished loading. Does that ring any bells?

[vonum]

You are rigth. set filetype=fugitiveblame - this line triggers the error. However, it is after the part which loads plugins. This doesn't happen on ubuntu 18.04 where I also use the same dotfiles.

Do you have an idea on what could be the problem? Or if there were some similar issues?

[tpope]

Setting the filetype during Vim startup is a nonsense operation. Stop doing it. It was broken then and broken now, the only difference is that it's now breaking noisily instead of silently.

It's installed wrong. None of that stuff should be in .vim/plugin.

[axd1967]

indeed - i moved it to pack. didn't know about this pack thing, not sure what's the difference with a plugin, I'll search. anyway, it seems to work now.
