Just once. But it would no doubt be better to instead rotate through the list
until we reach a non-identical entry (if there is one).

Agreed. But if improved as suggested then it would become the stop-rotating
condition: "rotate the kill ring until the first kill is different" etc. In
that case it need not be in parens.
If there is no non-identical ring entry then punt (the yank operation becomes a
no-op).
