I'll file a bug if needed and someone confirms.
Dotan,
This is not a bug. When you invoke vim as 'vi', the -C option is added, which sets Vim to Vi-compatible mode; this disables a number of features, including :history. From :help history :
:his[tory] Print the history of last entered commands. {not in Vi} {not available when compiled without the |+cmdline_hist| feature}
The "{not in Vi}" means that this feature is not available in Vi-compatible mode.
