No, it doesn't. I assume you're using "nomagic" so that \[...] is a collection, 
not a literal '[' character and some other stuff.

Inside a collection, \s does NOT mean whitespace. It means a '\' character or 
an 's' character. So you're actually matching "anything not a backslash and not 
the letter 's'" which WILL match whitespace. See just below :help /\] for a 
list of the ONLY backslash codes recognized inside [...].

I think you want \S (by itself, not within [^...].
