Hi Tim,

I've solved this already, but you were on the right track. The offending lines
in my .vimrc were:

nn 0 ^ | " goto first non-blank char in line
nn ^ 0 | " goto start of line

Replacing the <Tab><Tab> characters preceding the pipes with spaces fixed it.
Executing the Normal command outside of a macro worked fine, but inside a macro failed.
My original mapping used to work, but recently broke.

Solved it by typing ':nn', which listed my Normal noremap-s and showed the <Tab> chars.

Thanks for helping.
