It's documented:
When a word was replaced the redo command "." will
repeat the word replacement. This works like "ciw",
the good word and <Esc>. This does NOT work for Thai
and other languages without spaces between words.
It's one of those choices where there are always some users who expect
it to work otherwise. Anyway, you can easily map "1z=" to some key,
while making a map that repeats replacing with the same word is much
harder.
