I'm running 7.3.189 and it behaves differently. I started vim as
$ vim -N -u NONE
and used the line
Now is the (time) for all good men
and the command
:echo expand("<cword>")
with the following results.
Cursor Command
Location Output
-------- -------
( time

) for
So, <cword> appears to refer to the word under the cursor or to
the first word to the right if the cursor is not on a word. This
agrees with the documentation:
:help cword
:help star
The behavior at 5.4m.23 was to expand <cword> to an empty string.
(See $VIMRUNTIME/doc/version5.txt.) I don't know when this changed
to the current behavior or what the behavior was at 7.0.
