Maybe it should, but it doesn't.  Here is a lisp backtrace after doing C-y:

"ns-get-cut-buffer-internal" (0x5fbfd598)
"ns-get-pasteboard" (0x5fbfdaa8)
"x-selection-value" (0x5fbfdfc8)
"current-kill" (0x5fbfe4f0)
"yank" (0x5fbfea58)

So the faulty logic (if any) must be as early as current-kill, I guess?
