I now realize that the :s command does not set a register. So your
problem most likely is really about setting the clipboard, not something
else.
Perhaps :g and :v are the only commands that fill a register multiple
times? Well, executing a script does, of course. And executing from a
register multiple times. But that's not done with one command.
