which did as I expected, but had the odd side effect of printing
misleading messages about additional/fewer lines:
193 more lines

I can't reproduce this on terminal vim 7.3.143. I had two files open:
$ cat /tmp/foo
1+2
@11+12
$ cat /tmp/bar
barou
and used both '@' and '1' as patterns.
I get the E486 error but not the more/less lines messages.
Because each of your files have the same number of lines, it
doesn't register a change. For a full example:
bash$ cd ~/tmp; mkdir moreless; cd moreless
bash$ for i in 10 20 30 40 50; do seq $i > ${i}.txt ; done
bash$ sed -i '5s/$/@/' 30.txt
bash$ sed -i '10s/$/@/' 50.txt
bash$ vim -o *.txt
:windo g/@/q
produces (on the stock 7.2.445 that comes with Debian Squeeze)
E486: Pattern not found: @
E486: Pattern not found: @
10 more lines
E486: Pattern not found: @
