Calling `current-kill` is the same as Emacs' `yank-pop` does, so I
wonder if this problem also occurs if you use `yank-pop` (e.g. C-z to
change to emacs-state and then M-y for yank-pop)?

You could try to write a new command that temporarily sets
`interprogram-paste-function` to nil (untested):

(defun my-paste-pop (count)
  (interactive "p")
  (let (interprogram-paste-function)
    (evil-paste-pop count)))

and then bind it to C-p

(define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "C-p") 'my-paste-pop)

Does this help?
