No, and any attempt to use them screws up the one way that I have been able
to recover (i.e. "undo" immediately after the failed "put").  After seeing
the posting by Dan Bloch though, I suspect this bug may be related and
perhaps the text would reappear in the numbered registers after doing
another simple operation.  I haven't been able to reproduce this on demand
so I'll have to wait till the next time it happens to find out.
