Problem seems to be that the mark ends up in the table cache buffer instead of the main one.

Adding yank-pop as one of the specially handles sort of helps a bit, but
even with that it's still broken: yank-pop doesn't throw error, but
previously yanked text is not removed.  I think correct solution would
involve using after-change-functions rather trying to wrap each command
individually.
