Yes, and i think there is nothing you can do about it (exept some
before-send-filter to break long lines).
This is because vi(m) seems to break lines only at the exact moment you are
exceeding the wraplen/textwith, but when you somehow got to the other side of
the limit, no wrapping is done.

At least in vi on FreeBSD i ended up creating exrc file that executes the
following two commands.
set wraplen=78
1
and in muttrc:
set editor='vi -c 'source ~/.mutt/exrc'
This way i get to the beginning again.
