AFAIK, _exec_gvim, can only be called from within "function gvim", no?

That is not correct.  In bash, all function definitions are global.

imadev:~$ f1() { f2() { echo "I'm f2"; }; }; f1; f2
I'm f2

You left out a few important parts, like f2 being called inside f1 before
it returns, and unsetting f2:

f1() { f2() { echo "I'm f2 $1"; unset -f f2; }; f2 internal; }; f1; f2 external
I'm f2 internal
-bash: f2: command not found

Hmmm...
Seems to work for me.
