Yes, that looks to be the case. Presumably to get this to work in
ScCellShell::ExecuteCursorSel the 1,s and -1's in should be
"nRepeat/-nRepeat" where nRepeat defaults to 1, then has something
like ...

const SfxItemSet*   pReqArgs = rReq.GetArgs();
if ( pReqArgs != NULL )
{
    const   SfxPoolItem* pItem;
    if( IS_AVAILABLE( FN_PARAM_1, &pItem ) )
        nRepeat = static_cast<SCsCOLROW>(((const
SfxInt16Item*)pItem)->GetValue());
}

to set it to the repeat value if set.

...

and then a final 

    rReq.AppendItem( SfxInt16Item(FN_PARAM_1,
static_cast<sal_Int16>(nRepeat)) );

before the trailing rReq.Done() to explictly record the nRepeat as "1"
if unset for macro recording.
