It's not logical, since C-y only pastes yanks the clipboard or the
kill-ring; it no longer yanks the primary selection.  C-n after C-SPEC
actives the region, but that only sets the primary selection.

Either you are not running with `emacs -Q', or your repository is not up
to date for some reason, or something external to Emacs (maybe a
misbehaving selection manager?) is screwing up.
