Inconsistent overkill behavior on various motions

I am investigating the behavior of various motions when [count] exceeds
the actual number of objects.

Given buffer "abc abc":

"2$" (with cursor on first column) does nothing (presumably an error).
"2^" (cursor on last column) has the same behavior as "^".
"2w" (cursor on first column) jumps to the last character on the line
(same behavior as "2e").

Comparison with the other vi implementations I have available:

Neovim matches the behavior of Vim.

Nvi errors on "2^"; otherwise the behavior is the same as Vim.

Zsh with `bindkey -v` matches Vim.

Readline apps in vi mode (e.g., bash with `set -o vi`) go as far as
possible in all three cases (i.e., they match Vim, except that on "2$"
they jump to the end of the line).
