Yes, after quite a bit of frustrated and bemused experimentation I discovered I could only get '%R'/'%r' and not their values (which still amazes me just a little).

Yes, that seems to work fine! Thanks, I hadn't realized that the pre* commands could be helpful in this case. In fact, this actually seems to be an even better solution compared to running out of the prompt, because a 'typo' in the prompt wouldn't know whether the user had answered yes or no - while this preexec thing has a conditional on just that.
