I also not that, after such a delay, VIM displays a message in command buffer indicating that I'm in CTRL-x mode. Pressing any key, other than those listed in the command buffer message, results in the insertion of that character into the buffer as normal. This is perhaps to be expected as it accords with the description of CTRL-x mode in help, however, hitting CTRL-x and then a third key in rapid succession produces the desired result (i.e. ragtag.vim does what it's supposed to).

I guess this is expected. See :h 'timeoutlen' and :h 'ttimeoutlen'
