Note: the first hunk fixes a mistake; the second one changes "repeat"
with "execute", since if you edit the expression in the minibuffer
before executing it, you are not repeating anything, but executing a
new command.

Thanks. By experiment, you are correct; but the variable's doc and the
code comments also describe the former behaviour, so I wonder if the code
should be changed?

I don't think anybody cares about such off-by-one differences here, so
you can change the doc to match the code or vice-versa: either way
is fine.
