Describe the bug

I am getting the following error when attempting to yank text from the Command History Buffer (q:) to any named register (E.g., "ay$, or "+y$"):

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open neovim using the repro.lua below (nvim -u repro.lua)
2. Run some Ex commands (:ls, :buffers, etc.)
3. Open the Command History Buffer with q:
4. Try yanking any of the previously entered commands
5. See that you get an error

Expected Behavior

I would expect that I could yank text from the Command History Buffer to a named register (a, b, +, etc.)

Repro

-- DO NOT change the paths and don't remove the colorscheme
local root = vim.fn.fnamemodify("./.repro", ":p")

-- set stdpaths to use .repro
for _, name in ipairs({ "config", "data", "state", "cache" }) do
  vim.env[("XDG_%s_HOME"):format(name:upper())] = root .. "/" .. name
end

-- bootstrap lazy
local lazypath = root .. "/plugins/lazy.nvim"
if not vim.loop.fs_stat(lazypath) then
  vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git", lazypath, })
end
vim.opt.runtimepath:prepend(lazypath)

-- install plugins
local plugins = {
  "folke/tokyonight.nvim",
  { "folke/which-key.nvim", config = true },
  -- add any other plugins here
}
require("lazy").setup(plugins, {
  root = root .. "/plugins",
})

vim.cmd.colorscheme("tokyonight")
-- add anything else here
