If called without a previous yank, yank-pop will produce an error
message and do nothing useful. Why doesn't it just fall back on yank
instead?
I am not sure this is a good idea -- it might lead to doing things
that the users don't expect. This is the sort of thing that we
ought to ask a lot of people to try, so they can tell us whether
it is useful or confusing.
