set paste, paste buffers, material copied outside of Editor behaves differently from material copied

Hiya all,
Here is your Friday afternoon puzzler. Copy, set paste=mybuf, set
paste=default, paste behaves differently when the copy source is inside
Editor instead of outside of Editor. 5.3 m110.

Here is my "outside of Editor copy source" use case:
1) Open Editor.
2) Copy text from any source outside of Editor.
3) set paste=mybuf
4) Copy text within Editor.
5) set paste=default
6) Paste. This command fails because the clipboard is empty.

Here is my "inside of Editor copy source" use case:
1) Open Editor.
2) Copy text from within Editor.
3) set paste=mybuf
4) Copy text within Editor.
5) set paste=default
6) Paste. This command pastes the material copied in step 2.


I don't think the outside of Editor copy source step 6 should fail. Am I not
understanding some feature-ness of named buffers or do you agree that this
is unexpected behavior?
