You're doing something differently here, perhaps in vim itself.
I can easily reproduce with vim 6.3:

  $ touch x
  $ ls -li
  $ total 0
  3096224744087416 -rw-r--r--  1 corinna root 0 Oct 26 09:53 x
  $ vim --version | grep IMp
  VIM - Vi IMproved 6.3 (2004 June 7, compiled Oct 24 2005 15:22:43)
  $ vim X
  :w
  :q
  $ ls -li
  total 0
  2814749767376804 -rw-r--r--  1 corinna root 0 Oct 26 09:54 X
