pressing 16^a in normal mode works correctly so that isn't the problem.

If you only pressed ^A then it wasn't part of the command, but rather an instruction to vim to auto-complete with all matching patterns:

  :help c_CTRL-A

What you want is to enter the ^A literally which can be done by prefixing it with control+V:

  :g/^\d/norm 16^V^A

which will appear as

  :g/^\d/norm 16^A

as detailed at

  :help c_CTRL-V

Hope that makes sense,
