Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash in MacVim with the supplied .vimrc, the WinEnter colorscheme autocommand, and the xelatex makeprg mapping. Compare behavior while loading one LaTeX file, running k, and navigating to another file against the macOS crash report. Done means navigating between files no longer crashes MacVim in this scenario.
