What's LANG (etc) set to?

If I do:

    LANG=ja_JP.euc-jp emacs -Q -nw

then I see your problem.

But if I do:

   LANG=ja_JP.utf8 emacs -Q -nw

(or, LANG=C, or LANG=ja_JP.shift_jis, etc)

There's no problem.

So I'd guess your keyboard-coding-system is set to something which
interprets C-y (you can turn it off using "C-x m k").
