 I'm able to replicate it using the same ol' steps on a month-old 4.0-CURRENT:
 
 1. log in as user foo
 2. vi a file
 3. ^Z vi
 4. su
 5. vipw, change user foo's uid (or delete user foo)
 6. suspend the su
 7. fg the vi
 8. make a change; vi says:
 +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
 Information on user id 1000 not found.  
 Modifications not recoverable if the session fails
 Segmentation fault (core dumped)
 
 (which is not surprising, since vi hasn't changed since 1996)
