Alt editor failure cause found -- vim returning errors

The vim author did a talk at Google a few days ago and afterwards I 
mentioned the problem I've mentioned here where I get:
Alt editor failed, use file /var/tmp/pico.049810 of size 206 chars anyway ?    

every once in a while.

Well, I found the problem.  If vim gets any error, including searching for
text that's not found (like if I do /ZZZ right now in vim launched from
pine), then vim returns an error.

I could ask on the vim mailing list, but it sounded like there wasn't a way
in vim to stop this behavior.

Do I really have to make a script that launches vim as a workaround to
ignore the return value?  Is there any way I can do this in pine itself
instead?
