No, it should be aaaeeeaaa. C-. is bound to `evil-pop-repeat' and it
replaces the just repeated command with the previously recorded one.
This is similar to Emacs' kill ring, where you can use C-y to paste
some yanked text and M-y the replace this text with previously yanked
text rotating the kill-ring. Evil arranges recorded commands similarly
in a "repeat-ring" and C-. cycles through that ring when used
immediately after a ".", hence the behavior you describe is by
intention. In order to get "aaaeeeeeeaaa" use . two times followed by a
C-.
