   yield [no LineTerminator here] * AssignmentExpression

has the line terminator restriction because yield without the * has the same restriction:

   yield [no LineTerminator here] AssignmentExpression

And that one has that restriction because there exists a third form of yield that doesn't take an expression:

   yield

This is the same situation as with return statements, which also take a [no LineTerminator here] restriction.  It's a convenience to prevent return from capturing the expression from the next line for the users (I'm not among them) who like to rely on semicolon insertion:

if (error) return
x = y
