I cannot reproduce on Windows XP 64-bit with the "Vim without Cream" build of 7.3.709. I'm not 100% clear I understood your procedure however. Here is what I did:

1. gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE
2. Press a, enter text "aaaa", press <Esc> key.
3. Press 0 and then l to place the cursor on the second 'a' character.
4. Press a to enter insert mode
5. Press <Space> key to insert a space character
6. Press Shift+6 to enter a literal '^' character.
7. Press <Space> key again
8. Press <Esc> to leave insert mode
9. Verify text as expected: "aa ^ aa" with cursor on the second space character.
10. Press 's' to delete the space and go into insert mode
11. Press $ to insert a '$' character.
12. Verify text as expected: "aa ^$aa" with cursor between the $ and a character.
