By selling a bond before maturity, you're open to price fluctuations of the bond. It's not that the investor is exiting early, it's that by exiting early he is no long guaranteed the yield of the bond when he purchased it. Thurs, the yield is not "risk-free", and the risk is that the price moved in the market.
