Describe the bug
When there is an autocommand to change the colorscheme Vim crashes after executing xelatex.

To Reproduce
Detailed steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Include the code below in the .vimrc file:

let g:colors = "lucius"
augroup color
    au!
    au WinEnter * exe "colorscheme ".g:colors

set makeprg=xelatex\ \-file\-line\-error\ \-interaction=nonstopmode
nmap <leader>k :exec "silent make ".shellescape(expand('%'))<cr>

Expected behavior
Vim should load new file without crashing.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Vim version: 8.2 (Dec 19 2020)
• OS: MacOS 10.15.7
• Terminal: GUI

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.
