Yes, that is basically what my patch does. It resets v:register when
finishing up a normal mode command. That was why I originally asked for
a reproducible example, because I feared, something like this would
happen (v:register not visible anymore in ex commands).

No opinion on that. If we reach some agreement on how to make it work, I
might propose another patch then.
