> EdgeOtherVertexStep always looks for the last vertex in the path and uses that vertex to calculate the "other" vertex (see the [code|https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/blob/3.4.3/gremlin-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tinkerpop/gremlin/process/traversal/step/map/EdgeOtherVertexStep.java#L47]). This implementation works most of the time, but it produces unexpected results if a different vertex is injected into the path between the right vertex and the call to otherV(). For example:
> {code:java}
> gremlin> G = TinkerFactory.createModern()
> gremlin> g = G.traversal()
> gremlin> g.V().has('name', 'marko').outE().as('e').V().has('name', 'peter').select('e').otherV().values('name')
> ==>marko
> ==>marko
> ==>marko
> {code}
> In the example above, otherV() returns marko because the implementation applies otherV() to V().has('name', 'peter') instead of V().has('name', 'marko')
> Another example:
> {code:java}
> gremlin> g.V().has('name', 'marko').outE().as('e').otherV().select('e').otherV().path()
> ==>[v[1],e[9][1-created->3],v[3],e[9][1-created->3],v[1]]
> ==>[v[1],e[7][1-knows->2],v[2],e[7][1-knows->2],v[1]]
> ==>[v[1],e[8][1-knows->4],v[4],e[8][1-knows->4],v[1]]
> {code}
> The first .otherV() returns the right vertex, but the second one always returns v[1]. This happens because the second otherV() is applied to the result returned by the first otherV(), which seems incorrect.
