Suppose that the sorceress didn't cast the Death Vision spell and the cave bear came toward him triggering the Wait; he missed and the cave bear struck him, stunning him. In that case, there's no question that he has to take the Do Nothing maneuver on his next turn before he can recover.
Likewise, suppose the sorceress didn't cast Death Vision and he took a Do Nothing maneuver; the cave bear attacked and stunned him. The Do Nothing maneuver that he has already taken has nothing to do with the requirement to take a Do Nothing maneuver
after being stunned, so he has to take a Do Nothing maneuver on his next turn.
So, in the case of his Wait not triggering and getting stunned by the Death Vision, I'd say the Wait wasn't even taking a Do Nothing maneuver on this turn
before being stunned, so he definitely has to spend his next turn with a Do Nothing maneuver.
