The bug appears to have been introduced in this commit:

http://github.com/timcharper/vimpulse/commit/d650a459#L1R983

I can't tell why that was added (the hunk I commented on in that
link).  I've removed it, and not only does it fix this bug, but
everything seems to behave just fine.  I wonder if it was accidently
included?

How do I run the automated test suite included with vimpulse?  Is it
in working condition?  (eval-buffer doesn't work for me, it seems)
