I looked into this ... and it is because yes-or-no-p uses
read-from-minibuffer, and thus obeys all key bindings.

In contrast, y-or-n-p does the reading itself, and looks up the
bindings ONLY in query-replace-map (which obviously don't tell how to
"scroll-other-window".

I don't see an easy fix for this...
