Do you mean this (from Bug#10195)?

If so, then no, adding the redisplay line does not prevent inhibiting
echoing of prefix arguments after setting the mark and then typing M-w.
(I tested by starting Emacs with -Q, copying the source code of
kill-ring-save into *scratch*, adding the redisplay line, evalling, then
setting the mark and typing M-w.)
