That's because your vim alternative is pointing to vim.nox.  The balloon
eval feature is only included in Vim builds that have GUI support.

When you load a view in vim.nox with 'balloonexpr' set (from a gvim
run), it complains because that's not an option that's available in
vim.nox.

You can remove "options" from the 'viewoptions' option to avoid caching
mappings/options in the view file.
