When it got here I hit escape to abort what KoLmafia was doing. Running r14352.

Haven't looked at the code (much), but it looks like it repeats the last line, rather than the last command.
Does
> use 1 fancy tin beer can
> repeat 16
work?

So I guess this is not a bug, but there is a possible feature request to make the repeat command work on last command rather than last line.

It's not one I'd spend any time looking at, though.

Maybe repeat should not repeat the entire line on which it is? As in, do not execute any repeats while already repeating?
Does/should anybody use anything like this:
Code: 
> print something # or do something else
> repeat 2
> repeat 3
?

Personally, I'd like to see "repeat" changed so it works with multiple commands on one line, with repeat being the final command. The logical way to handle this case is to split the line into 2 - all other commands form virtual line 1 and the repeat command virtual line 2, then process as with other repeat commands. It does NOT need to be changed to repeat the last command rather than the last line.
