It's definitely not a normal delay. But your failure to reproduce it
(it's 100% reproducible for me) made me suspicious, so I switched to
another desktop environment, and sure enough, the echoing behavior after
M-w was normal. So this appears to be a problem just with LXDE, which I
used for the first time a few days ago. I have no idea what is causing
it: M-w has no desktop function in LXDE AFAICT and aside from the
no-echo problem works as usual in Emacs; moreover, I just determined
that the no-echo problem does not happen with emacs -q -nw started from
the LXTerminal. Anyway, I guess this is not an Emacs bug (and I guess
I'll have to switch desktop environments again...). Sorry for the
noise.
