Re: [BUG?] redir tromping yank register 0?

I can confirm the described behaviour on 7.4.52

Can anyone reproduce the following, and if so, is this a bug?

  vim -u NONE -N

(start vim with no .vimrc in 'nocompatible' mode)

  ihello<esc>

(insert some text on the first line)

  Y

(yank the line)

  :reg

(correctly shows that "" and "0 contain the yanked line)

  :redir @"

(redirect into the scratch register)

  :reg

Hey, where did my 0 register go?!  I expected the scratch register to
get tromped, but not my yank register.  I didn't do any yanking, and
the help says """

Numbered register 0 contains the text from the most recent yank
command, unless the command specified another register with ["x].

"""

It appears that ":redir @[a-z]" is somehow treated as a yank.
