Oh, I think I found the misunderstanding: If I do
(customize-set-variable 'register-use-preview 'insist), then I indeed
get an error ("[not matching]") in the echo area.
But with the default value of register-use-preview (traditional), the
(delete-register) command should error out if I try to delete an empty
register, like it does if I try to jump to an empty register.
