Not exactly what you looking for, but a simple macro do a similar job:

C-a                     ;; beginning-of-line
C-p                     ;; previous-line
C-SPC                   ;; set-mark-command
C-e                     ;; end-of-line
M-w                     ;; kill-ring-save
C-a                     ;; beginning-of-line
C-n                     ;; next-line
C-y                     ;; yank


or:

(fset 'duplicate-last-line
   [?\C-a ?\C-p ?\C-  ?\C-e ?\M-w ?\C-a ?\C-n ?\C-y])

This macro duplcates whole previous line. The point is on the
end of the line. Now you can press (one or more times ) M-DEL
and continue editing.
