Christian,

Thanks -- I figured it was a mere couple lines of code to fix, though I guess the meta-question also pertained to "what's the right behavior?" My leaning is that the patch is for the better and should go live (instead of documenting the weirdness). I see you CC'd vim-dev (where I don't subscribe, so am not CCing), so I'd be interested in others' thoughts.

Thanks again!
