Probably depends on what behavior you like if there is nothing to
yank. Without your patch, the suffix is removed which is certainly
wrong. With your patch the suffix is kept and made non-auto-removable.
Personally I would prefer zsh to leave the suffix on the line and
automatically removable in whenever a zle widget doesn't change the
line and cursor position. But maybe I'm the only one who would prefer
that.
