It appears this is because getchar() doesn't flush the output and
position the cursor. Try this patch:
*** ../../vim-7.0.017/src/eval.c Sat May 13 13:36:47 2006

varnumber_T n;
int error = FALSE;
+ /* Flush any pending messages and position cursor. */
+ out_flush();
+ windgoto(msg_row, msg_col);
+
++no_mapping;
++allow_keys;
if (argvars[0].v_type == VAR_UNKNOWN)
