The problem occurs on my 3B1 as well.  I tracked it down to the phrase
'Telex: 154232...'.  If you change the colon to something else, you
don't get the message.  It is interesing that the end of Telex: is
'ex:', so maybe vi is trying to interpret embedded code (I never knew it
could!).  I don't have time to run this down further, but if anyone does,
please let me know what you find.
