One of the two following cases should be true:
Case 1: @: maps to @;
@; maps to @:
Case 2: @: maps to @:
@; maps to @;
Case 2 really should be the case. (You're suggesting that case 1 should
be the case, and I disagree with that.)
In my testing, it appears that @; is complaining about the invalid ;
register (like Case 2) and when I type @:, it beeps at me rather than
executing the command. If I type ":p, it pastes the last command just
fine (without a leading : or ;). So something's special-casing the @:
code, and the mappings are messing it up. That's what sounds like a bug.
