I can't reproduce this on terminal vim 7.3.143. I had two files open:

$ cat /tmp/foo
1+2
@11+12
$ cat /tmp/bar
barou

and used both '@' and '1' as patterns.

I get the E486 error but not the more/less lines messages.

I don't understand what you mean. I don't see how the number of lines
could have changed.
