This is by design. Everything that causes text outside what you've 
typed yourself while column-typing was enabled, will disable column 
typing (similar to if the caret was moved outside the new text).

I see how the behavior expected could be expected, but it opens up a 
can of worms. E.g. what if you had blank lines among the selection, 
should it then forward delete the \n, or not do anything on these 
lines? what if you do a transformation on the character to the right of 
the caret (e.g. ctrl-g to change case), should that then also be 
mirrored? what if you select the character and overtype it etc.
