there's an intentional difference between some simple motions and
their range of action with some operators, in particular the 'c'hange
operator.  for instance, 'w' and 'e' are different, but 'cw' and 'ce'
are the same.  this is a replication of long-standing vi behavior.

i suspect the behavior you've observed is related.
