Registers are characters. Control characters are valid registers. So
you can for example do C-x r s C-a to save the region string into register
`C-a'. Your patch complicates inputting such registers. Dunno if
people use such registers, but I wanted to mention this. It's a bit
harder now to use non-printable characters as registers now.

For jumping? Why is this useful?

Is this part in the patch you had been posting in the first messages?
Because I only get "End of history; no default available" with that
patch installed.

Let me try to be more precise what I saw: If I start Emacs modified with
your patch and do C-x r s with an active region, I see this message in
the minibuffer:
Error running timer: (error "No buffer named *Register Preview*")
Maybe that's already what you have fixed.
One more detail: I see "Invalid face reference: helm-match" in the
*Messages* of emacs -Q. Still using your first patch (Could you please
post the newest version again?).
Thanks so far,
Michael.
