I could try something like that if the minor loss
turns out to be a problem.
We should not knowingly introduce an ugliness when it
is so easy to avoid it. So if you'd like to install such a change,
please do the extra work now, to make that change not be ugly.

I think it's too minor to deserve a config var. If it can't be
enabled by default, it might as well not exist.
If you install it with a variable to control it,
we can try it out and see what people think of it.
What about the `2b' part (i.e. if the kill-ring says "foo" and the region
is active and contains "foo", delete the region and replace it with
the second element of the kill-ring) ?
That seems too weird to me.
