OperatorPending mode is not correctly reflected

Describe the bug

I have a keybinding which allows me to hit Escape to switch focus to the file explorer:

  {
    "key": "escape",
    "command": "workbench.view.explorer",
    "when": "editorFocus && vim.mode == 'Normal' && !editorHasMultipleSelections && !dirtyDiffVisible && !referenceSearchVisible && !findWidgetVisible"
  }

The problem i experience is that this command will be executed when vim is in OperatorPending mode. For example, when i accidentially hit y in Normal mode, then hit Escape, the keybinding above will trigger. This means that, while vim correctly waits for the motion command, it does not set the when clause context vim.mode correctly.

Expected behavior

vim.mode should not equal Normal during operator pending state.

• Extension (VsCodeVim) version: v1.24.1
• VSCode version: 1.72.0
• OS: macOS

The issue identifies the vim.mode when-clause context and the OperatorPending mode; start by tracing where mode changes are exposed to VS Code keybindings. Reproduce the y then Escape sequence, then verify that vim.mode is not Normal while waiting for a motion and that the reported context matches the actual mode.
