Yup.  I wondered first whether it did so on purpose, as far as I can
see, the things it puts on the kill ring aren't useful?  So I've just
changed it to delete-region instead.  If people are depending on that
value being in the kill ring, the patch should be reverted, and a
comment should be added to say what the point of the kill-region is.
