In this case I would sacrifice the consistency between them.
Because--at least for my typing habits--the reasons for transposing
chars and words/sexps are of a different kind.
Transposing of characters has more to do with defective (touch) typing
and confusing words/sexps sequences has probably to do with some
misunderstanding/confusion of the sentence/code structure.
