Yes, this goes in the right direction, thanks!

The patch works fine when `register-use-preview' is nil. (I wonder if
the prompt "Register `%s' is empty" is not still displayed, though: I
believe I've seen it flash.)

When `register-use-preview' is t (the default), it skips confirmation
only when setting the _first_ empty register: when setting another
empty register, confirmation reappears.  Can you reproduce this bug?
