Under ":help quote:" it is expicitly said that @: should repeat the 
latest ex-command.

You can also use any of
        ":p
        ":P
        :put:
        :reg:

to see what is there. Of course, if it were empty it would be a no-op. 
But here, even after using : as the ex-command the register doesn't 
become empty, and since it's a read-only register you couldn't do
        :let @: = ""


Best regards,
