Got it now. But I still need some rest to really understand it.
Here is more weirdness:
1 2 ]@v 1 2 3
2 3
3 4
4 5
1 2 v 1 2 3
|length error: v
| 1 2 v 1 2 3

yes.
It's not a special-code trick. v is a verb. ] could be anything, and the
same weirdness would result.
1 2 v 2 3
3 5
1 2 (v) 2 3
3 5
1 2 ]@v 2 3
3 4
4 5
1 2 ]@(v) 2 3
3 4
4 5

My question #2 had two clauses with opposite senses (i.e. it was an
either/or question), so an unqualified "no" is an ambiguous response. Let
me phrase it as a strict yes/no question:
Does x ]@(v) y necessarily produce the same result as x ]@v y ?
I'm trying to prune out lines of inquiry which would be unsurprising or
at least mundane. Since adverbs can see their entire verbal argument,
phrases like ]@+/ and ]@(+/) are fundamentally different, even if they
produce the same results when applied to arguments. In short, if my v is
given access to the ]@ then all sorts of doors are opened (this is actually
how most special code is implemented) and the puzzle is not so interesting.
If, on the other hand, we're taking about a ]@(v) which differs from
plain (v), that is very interesting; and if the DoJ does in fact legitimize
it (or at least fail to prohibit it), then it is fascinating!

Three questions:
#1 Is v necessarily a verb?
#2 Does the effect depend upon v being anonymous, or will it work
if v is assigned to a name and/or wrapped in parens?
#3 Is the effect indicated, contraindicated, or unspecified by the
Dictionary?

PS: My initial guess is this is almost certainly a bug introduced by
some
special-code optimization.

Subject: [Jprogramming] A puzzle
For what sort of v does
]@v
give different results than
v
? No side effects.
1 2 v 1 2
2 4
1 2 ]@v 1 2
2 3
3 4
