i've always assumed it came from emacs (where i learned it), but it's very
possibly a readline feature emacs adopted. Then again, what _hasn't_ emacs
adopted somewhere in some add-on?

Caveat: when you Esc-y you lose the top-most item in the yank buffer (the
one Ctrl-y yanked). i don't know of any way to restore them once you Esc-y
past them.
