netrw interferes with "vertical resize" during startup

[saccarosium]

Problem

Loading netrwPlugin.vim at startup causes the fact that using :vertical resize while opening 2 (or more) windows at startup doesn't work completely as the second window will be, for a reason I ignore, forced to take a minimum vertical size.

Steps to reproduce

nvim -u NORC -c 'vnew' -c 'vertical resize'

This will load the netrwPlugin.vim file and gives us a vim session like this:

Move the netrwPlugin.vim file out of the runtime (on my system it is in /usr/share/nvim/runtime/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim). This will solve the issue and the left window will be take full size of screen, when running the above command line again:

The second image is the expected behavior even when loading netrwPlugin.vim
