At the moment the prefix argument makes insert-register leave the point after the inserted text, but you could still acheive the same affect with very few extra keystrokes by typing 'C-x x' after the insert to swap the point and mark. Using the prefix to make it insert multiple copies seems more intuitive and is like vi. - Neil
