That's fine. I don't think it matters much whether it does or not.

Actually, I think the rectangle support is good, although I'd like it to
be a bit more like the normal region highlighting (e.g. same color, C-g
should deactivate it, should be allowed to have 0-width). The C-g part
is important: I found it difficult to figure out how to "exit" from the
"rectangle-mode".
Also I'm not convinced by the special M-foo bindings and the special
treatment of self-insert-command. Maybe it's just that I'm used to it,
but I find C-x r t to work at least as well if not better (e.g. it's
not limited to self-inserting keys).

These tend to be brittle (e.g. when entering/exiting minibuffer prompts
or recursive edits) and difficult to debug. I think the need for
pre/post command-hook is often a sign of a missing
functionality elsewhere.
