I find in some of my personal code that calls to y-or-n-p
clobber the match data.  That code worked ok when I first wrote it,
and for several years after that.  Putting (save-match-data...)
around the call to y-or-n-p seems to fix it.

Did some recent change cause y-or-n-p to do searches
and not save the match data?

I will work up a test case for you if necessary, but that
will be a pain.  I hope with this info that work can be avoided.
