I too thought about the /e flag about 2 seconds after I pushed

I'm curious if there was a reason you didn't use getpos()/setpos()
(which takes care of some peculiar edge cases regarding
'virtualedit') or make the saved-search local?

let l:saved_search=@/
let l:oldpos = getpos()
%s/\s\+$//e
setpos('.', l:oldpos)
let @/=l:saved_search
