Strange, I see that too (also with Vim 7.2.18).
BTW the first "Shows 1" should be "Shows 2".

The issue is as follows: start with two lines:

123
456

1. Press Y on the first line.
2. On the second line, press V then ""p
Result: No visible change (should have changed to "123").
3. Press Y on the first line.
4. On the second line, press V then p
Result: The second line is replaced with "123".

After step 2, :echo @" shows 456 so Vim thinks the second line
was changed, but it wasn't.

The question is, what is ""p doing?
