I think I may not write it clear in my previous email. I run the command as

mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" \"test.tex\""

which got the mtxrun output has spurious " before test.tex. if omit the \"
around the test.tex, like this,

 mtxrun --noquotes bin:vim "-u NONE -c \"set tabstop=8\" test.tex"

there are no spurious " in mtxrun output. However, both will make vim open a
new file named "tabset=8" and the test.tex to be edited. That is the
problem. I guess under linux this command should open vim to edit the
test.tex only instead.
