At this point I believe this is a bug. Consider the following commands,
typed in normal mode:
(1) d:call setpos(".",[0,2,5,0])
(2) d:normal! e
(3) dv:normal! viw
(4) d:normal! viw
Commands (1) to (3) work exactly as expected: "delete to line 2 column
5; to the end of the word; the inner word". And they are repeatable with
the dot command, because they are put in the redo buffer exactly as
typed.
Command (4) works as expected, but it isn't repeatable because the
command isn't correctly put in the redo buffer.
This is unfortunate. In Operator-pending mode, selecting something in
Visual mode is special: Like Kana said, it is the only way to define
complex text objects (see :h omap-info). So this is an issue that needs
fixing.
