The problem seems to be the following: when you hit ESC, Viper will remove
boundaries from the undo-list, without making any changes to the buffer,
so the top-level loop won't add a boundary before the next command and
ends up hence "amalgamating" the next command with the previous one.

In the old code, we just always blindly added a boundary to
current-buffer before running a command, whereas now we only do so if
the buffer has been modified since the last time we pushed a boundary.

I think the patch below fixes the original problem.
Another way to fix it would be to change undo-auto--add-boundary so it
always considers (current-buffer) regardless of
undo-auto--undoably-changed-buffers.
