Research direction
Reproduce the behavior in MacVim using the .vimrc setting set guifontwide=<FontName>, then compare startup behavior with reloading via source $MYVIMRC. Trace how guifontwide is applied when MacVim opens and when the vimrc is sourced; done means double-width characters use the configured font immediately after reopening.
