strange global variable behaviour

neovim saves global variables in ~/.local/share/nvim/shada/main.shada.
If you encountering wonky results when changing your vimrc, delete this file and try again.

neovim crashes terminal

Your terminal probably needs to be recompiled.

scrolling panes is broken in xterm

You may be using xterm, not xterm-256color.
Try export TERM= or export TERM=xterm.
