Description
In my opinion, this may not be a bug, it is a feature.
For example, if you use 5 ]] in the first line of a text who only contains 2 paragraph, VSCodeVim will move the cursor to the last line of the text, but Vim will do nothing since it cannot move 5 paragraph which is larger than the paragraph left(I guess).
The same with C also. For 2 C, when the file is empty, Vim cannot go into insert mode but VSCodeVim will go into insert mode. The behavior of number C is weird in Vim when there are 0 or 1 line.
I cannot determine which behavior is "correct" or more reasonal. Hope your opinion.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the 5 ]] and 2 C cases described in VSCodeVim and compare them with Vim, including empty and very short files. Determine the intended behavior for oversized counts, then document the decision and verify that the affected commands behave consistently.
