This looks like an error in Emacs. See the example in
(info "(elisp) Yes-or-No Queries")

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
     Here is an example:

          (yes-or-no-p "Do you really want to remove everything?")

          ;; After evaluation of the preceding expression,
          ;;   the following prompt appears,
          ;;   with an empty minibuffer:

          ---------- Buffer: minibuffer ----------
          Do you really want to remove everything? (yes or no)
          ---------- Buffer: minibuffer ----------
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So perhaps you write an Emacs bug report.

Best regards, Michael.
