Yes, this a product of how rp does the prefix maps. I haven't been
able to think of a way to eliminate this problem. There's always a
race condition...

It hasn't been a show stopper, so I haven't dedicated too much effort
to eliminating it...I just wait for the rat cursor to change shape and
then issue my command. That sucks, though.
