That's odd - it works for me under both kvt and xterm on 3.0-CURRENT of a couple of days ago:

$ yes | head -2
y
y
Broken pipe
$

Seems to be the expected behavior, yes?

I was having some trouble with xterm from the 2.2.6 CD-ROM screwing up the utmp file (after I'd upgraded to 3.0-CURRENT) so I picked up a copy of the latest 3.0-SNAP CD, reinstalled all of X from there, and things are fine again.  Perhaps you're not running a 3.0 version of xterm?
