This gets more mysterious. I ran strace on vsplit11b and on the
dd example and I found that vsplit does not use the O_LARGEFILE 
flag on opening the output files:

open("forbidden_planet.ty", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
open("fp.m2v", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 4
open("fp.m2a", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = 5

But dd does:

open("bigfile", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_LARGEFILE, 0666) = 1

Not sure why it works for you though.
