The problem is that after updating vim, both the old and new versions
of vim end up listed in /var/db/pkg/vim-share-*/+REQUIRED_BY. This
happens consistently now (the last several times I've updated vim I've
had to edit the file to remove the nonexistent version) but I haven't
gotten around to sorting out why.

Based on the last one I did (still in my shell history) which also
left the extra version behind, you should be able to replicate it by
installing vim-share and vim, waiting for the next version change,
then doing

   % (cd editors/vim-share && make && make replace && make clean)
   % (cd editors/vim && make update)
