Do you mean, you see something different, than what is redirected?
I can't reproduce this.

Or may be you are seeing the issue, that is discussed here:
http://groups.google.com/group/vim_use/msg/3b41562c94c13279

quoting:

`----

Which means, for a multi-line pattern, this prints only the first line
of the matching pattern. But see the mentioned thread for alternatives.
