It does, the point in your example is the observation affecting the result. By going to the command line, vim has gone out of visual block mode. If your plug-in is careful, it can avoid this. For example,

:vmap <expr> z Col()
:fun! Col()
echo virtcol("'<")
return ""
endf

Select a block and press z. If ve=block, when virtcol is called vim is still in visual block mode.
