Research direction
Reproduce the error using VSCodeVim 1.17.1 and the reported key=p action. Start by locating the source corresponding to advancePositionByText rather than relying on the bundled out/extension.js stack trace. Done means the action no longer throws the reported e.match TypeError and the behavior is covered by an appropriate regression test.
