I cannot spot any change in the logs that could affect this.  I'm 
probably missing something.  Unfortunately, I also don't have access to a 
system with both X and the CVS version of Emacs.

Does this still happen with the current CVS?  If it does, could you 
please see what does (x-selection-exists-p 'PRIMARY) return?  Also, does
x_handle_selection_request (defined on xselect.c) get called when you 
paste into another X application, and if so, could you step with a debugger
through it and see what happens inside x_handle_selection_request and its
subroutines that prevents pasting from working?
