Then maybe this is another reason to prefer adding the edited string
to the kill-ring?  In which case you will need to reset the pointer to
the head of the ring?

If this is the scenario, then I don't see a problem: what you describe
works for me, i.e. "M-y M-p" does insert the last killed item into the
minibuffer.  I wonder why it doesn't work for you.
