yes - my notes from van der Veer suggests a similar open stance - in
particular, in reference to previous discussions we've had here on xmca
regarding definitions of cultural historical activity theory attributes.
van der Veer's position as i understand it is that there will never be a
final definition of vygotsky, but rather multiple interpretations, for
which we will all be the better for.

The English noun "identity" comes, ultimately, from the
Latin adverb "identidem", which means "repeatedly."
The Latin has exactly the same rhythm as the English,
buh-BUM-buh-BUM - a simple iamb, repeated; and
"identidem" is, in fact, nothing more than a
reduplication of the word "idem", "the same":
"idem(et)idem". "Same(and) same". The same,
repeated. It is a word that does exactly what
it means.
from "The Elusive Embrace" by Daniel
Mendelsohn.
