But like David De La Harpe Golden said, this may just be because of a
bad combination of the

(setq select-active-regions nil
      mouse-drag-copy-region t
      x-select-enable-primary t
      x-select-enable-clipboard nil)

options.  It does seem to affect quite a few people, though, and only in
the article buffer (with the automatically updating Date header).

Doing the settings above makes the problem disappear, but it's
unfortunate that other combination(s) of the options has such a
confusing outcome, I think.
