Ah, this would be a genuine bug, then.
What's happening here is that w32's internal emulation of a primary is
incomplete - relatively recently, it became valid on canonical x11 emacs
to set selection to a buffer (or a cons of markers), with the meaning
the selection is (lazily) the string between the point and mark of the
buffer (or the markers).
w32's fake selection handling needs update to include this possibility.
(It needs this update regardless of changes to the defaults, the
defaults have just successfully thrown a spotlight on the breakage).
