Why did you expect something different?  The first M-/ copies "2", but
the next one after that replaces "2" with some alternative, which
exactly depends on what other buffers you have.  I see no bug here,
you are just expecting from M-/ something it cannot give you.  The
"SPC M-/" trick is already reaching too far out, IMO.
