w runs the command dired-copy-filename-as-kill.
But if it is not on a filename, e.g., on the "total" line,
or on the line at the end of the buffer with no file on it,
it should beep.

Why beep? It does a useful job in that case as well.
Closing.

But whatever it does in that case, it doesn't put it on the kill ring,
so one cannot yank it. One just ends up yanking what was already in the
kill ring.

Of course, it does. Try "C-y" after that in some other (writable)
buffer, and you will see.

Not here.

Now I am on the line that says
"total used in directory 198228 available 3.5 GiB"
w ;; dired-copy-filename-as-kill
C-x b ;; switch-to-buffer
b ;; self-insert-command
<return> ;; minibuffer-complete-and-exit
C-y ;; yank
There is nothing to yank.
