Nevertheless, a couple people on vim_mac diagnosed the problem as a filetype problem. Changing it from DOS to unix fixed. Since that was so simple, and since I like what the plugin does -- count two words not separated by a space as two words -- I decided to stick with it.

Just for reference, this following command will return a list of matches
too (the regex can probably be improved):

:%s/\<.\{-}\>//gn | set nohlsearch

... a "search and replace" command that only counts all matches (and
does no replacing). Of course, it clobbers your search register, etc, so
it's probably not the solution you wanted.

I just thought you might want to know about :%s/...//gn
