Wow, nevermind, I actually ran the whole thing on Windows 7, gvim 7.3.822, and IT WORKED as you intended. My mind is blown. I don't actually understand why this works. It also works for me in console vim. Since I have no idea why it would work in the first place, I have even less idea why it works for me but not for you. It is possible that something in the 9 patches between your version and my version broke this.
