% emacs -Q
M-x delete-selection-mode <return>
C-x h C-x r i

Notice that the whole text is deleted when i is pressed.  If you then
press a key, say a, it states that register does not conatin text, which
is correct.  But the text of the buffer is deleted, even though
nothing replaced it.  Undo gets you the text back, but it is
inconvinient.

I made some experiments, but you are correct, we need core delsel support to 
fix this.  Closing as wontfix.
