Then:
:set cb=unnamed
Within :global, `yy' yanks into the clipboard and `p' puts from the clipboard.

Now:
:set cb=unnamed
Within :global, `yy' does not yank into the clipboard, but `p' still puts from the clipboard.
Looks like `yy' fails to set the last used register (`0').

Workaround:
:g/^/normal! yy"0p

(register `0' contains the yanked text even with cb=unnamed).
