Thanks for asking for help.
This is still a problem. However, now there is an additional bug in viper mode:

When I run e.g., "!!" to tell it to replace the text of the current
line with the output of some shell command, I see the usual "!" prompt
asking me for that command in the minibuffer. Let's say I type "cat"
then enter. So far so good.

However, if I type "!!" again, this time I see "!(default cat) ", and
let's say I want to accept that default and hit return. Then emacs
attempts to run the command "(default cat)". Oops. Even if I type
something, it is only appended, so if I type "cat" again, emacs runs
"(default cat) cat".

This appears to have been introduced some time on or before May 6th.
