Can you please give me some details about your version of uudecode (what OS, distro, package etc.)

A link to the man page would also be helpful.

Excuse me! I should have provided that immediately :-/

fix compatibility with GNU sharutils uudecode #87
d3ab86a 
GNU sharutils uudecode does not support the -p option for outputting to
STDOUT, but it does allow '-o -', which BSD uudecode takes to mean a
file called literally '-'.

Fortunately, GNU uudecode is documented to support '-o /dev/stdout' and
that works on BSD uudecode as well, so switch to that syntax.

Fixed in master, note that things that use ANSI escape sequences may not work correctly yet due to bugs in AnsiEsc.vim, notably git diff and such, I am working on this in a different branch.
