I guess I should have experimented more before posting this.  However,
the unexpected behavior was not due to erroneous expansion of <cword>.
Rather, I had given you the wrong form of the :execute command.  You
should use the following:

:execute "/".c_word

Notice the dot before c_word.  The dot is the string concatenation
operator.
