Jun 24, 2011 at 18:35 comment added Torsten Ekedahl Yes, you're right, from my point of view the representation extends to the algebraic closure (the group generated by the exponentials).
Jun 24, 2011 at 18:25 comment added Victor Protsak Yes, your fourth paragraph spells out some details omitted from my proof sketch. The Lie correspondence works in characteristic 0 without extra assumptions (and by Ado's theorem, the Lie algebra is linear, hence one can exponentiate), thus I don't think that algebraicity of the Lie algebra is an issue. The correspondence does, however, break down for infinite-dimensional representations, as in your first example.
