I think I discovered something interesting about this: I believe it occurs
after one uses a different vi feature that is also broken:

The use of "." to repeat the last operation works intermittenly in CYGWIN
readline, but I believe that if you use it and it doesn't do what it's supposed
to, then the problem with the loss of functionality with the other commands
stops working...

Da - naturally, it could also be that there is an even earlier event that breaks
not only the "." command but the other operations as well....  I don't know if
there's any causation there - but I do believe there's a connection.
