Actually, I don't think this is a bug.  In subword-mode, "8G" is 2
words.  At the time, I deliberately left abbrevs out of the
*-word-strictly conversion, since I believe users of this mode should
be able to expand sub-words.

So I think the OP needs to change the abbrevs in use to not bump into
this contradiction.
