What version of zsh is this (and has that changed recently)?  What does

% print $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL

say?

Does the function work if you do NOT pass the --remote-tab option?

Are you running vimfunc via an alias?  If so, does the behavior change
if you actually type out the full command word "vimfunc ..."?

Try "functions -t vimfunc" to enable execution tracing and then run the
function in the way that fails.

By the way, I think you have a typo here:

}         # list version if we asked for that
}         if [ ! -z version ] ; then
}             cmd="$cmd --version"
}         fi

The [ -z version ] is always going to fail.  Needs $version instead.
