The primary reason to use ':' in "check-ignore -v" is to mimic the output format of "grep -n".

Emacs users can then run the commands like check-attr/check-ignore with "M-x find-grep" (or "M-x compile"), the output format is recognized by the editor, and the user can jump around with \C-x` to view hits.

I do not use vim myself, but I would be mildly surprised if there isn't a similar feature there.
