I think this is a side effect of the fact that functions do not
change the search pattern. I guess the search direction is stored along
with the pattern. Either
:help :endfun
and scroll up one paragraph or
:help :fun
/search
I think re-mapping "n" does not matter: mapping "#" to call a function
will not change the search direction.
I am not sure what you are trying to do, but perhaps you can store
the search direction in your own (script-local) variable and check that
with your re-mapped "n" command.
