1. Open a php file with vim. opens fine

This may be related to a file type configuration issue. If Eclipse isn't set up to open files using "Vim (new process)", then the blank-tab behavior can occur. See this tip for setup info: http://www.vimplugin.org/tips
When Eclipse is NOT set up to use "Vim (new process)", if you right-click, go to Open With -> Vim, and another Vim tab is already open, then the file is opened as a buffer within the existing Vim tab, and a new blank tab is also opened. The opening of the blank-tab is the crux of this bug, in my opinion.
Try changing the port here: Window->Preferences-Vimplugin->Port
I was having the identical problems but this fixed it immediately.
