Cannot repeat paste done in insert mode

[AndrewRayCode]

vim -u NONE load vim with no plugins
i go into insert mode
⌘v paste clipboard contents
Esc return to normal mode
. repeat the paste
Beep! The cursor moves back one character, which is a nice feature.

Repeating works fine if it comes from a register. Eg, replace ⌘v above with ctrl-r*

Here's a workaround, which I figured out after a only 6 years of using MacVim:

inoremenu Edit.Paste <C-r><C-p>*

but i'm not sure if that's the exact behavior of MacVim's Edit.Paste. It works better than Vim's default ctrl-r * which comes with a random number generator and a few config flags to determine indenting.

This is probably because ⌘V just calls paste#Paste() (defined in the vim runtime, under autoload). The function executes "+gP to paste text, but then executes normal! i, at which point . will repeat that "last change" of entering insert mode and doing nothing.

Is this really a MacVim-specific bug? Seems like this would happen in gvim on Windows as well, since paste.vim is part of the standard vim distribution.

EDIT: Confirmed, this reproduces in gVim as well.

This should be reported against Vim itself, since that's where the runtime file in question comes from and MacVim isn't modifying it.
