That's true. The reason is that "y" is an operator like "d" or "c" and
in motion state only motions are active. Of course, "y" is one of the
spare non-editing operators and therefore could be enabled in motion
state. Perhaps we should do this by default.

Meanwhile, you may just use

(define-key evil-motion-state-map "y" 'evil-yank)

to get "y" working in motion-state.
