I suspect that the automatic gzip handling isn't working. The last time I saw this happen it was the result of the system-wide configuration from the vim 5.x packages lingering around and causing a conflict with some of the new features in vim 6.0. Look in /etc/vimrc (or /etc/vim/vimrc) and remove any autcommands relating to gzip. They are no longer needed, and will cause a conflict.
