The evaluation of the map expression is done inside the function that
gets a character from the user and takes care of applying mappings.
That function is protected from being called recursively, thus getchar()
doesn't work.
That the use of a normal command makes it work is a bug. Instead of
incrementing/decrementing a counter for recursive use of the function a
true/false flag is used. I'll fix that. Your function with the
workaround will stop working then.
I'll see if I can make it work.
