Yesterday, at UTC evening, I updated with bzr. The build did not copy.
Today, after a 'make clean', I applied your patch and re-compiled. No
change, still copying from the NS variant to other Mac OS X
applications or X clients does not work. One change happened, when
pasting what I marked and copied in X11 or a Mac OS X application:
Quit: "pasteboard doesn't contain valid data"
Maybe the copy&paste code could be made smaller since the X servers in
Snow Leopard have built-in a synching mechanism with the Mac OS X
pasteboard and up-to-date X servers in Leopard have it too. Only the
original Apple X server lacks this, but can be configured to work
similarly.

Yes, it does. In the beginning I found that this did not copy the word
to the pasteboard, so I assumed some key binding might have changed,
but they haven't. A working (and installed in /Applications) copy from
middle of June describes double-click as the same – and copies the
word to Mac OS X pasteboard and X11 PRIMARY selection (or XQuartz
2.5.1 (xorg-server 1.8.99.904) from MacPorts is synching OS X and X11).
