I'm definitely not an expert in the way selection works in GUIs, nor how
this works in Emacs. So I can't judge what your patch does, sorry.
This said, maybe a "safer" change is to propagate the information that
a particular request is a "TARGETS" request to the
`x-sent-selection-functions` so that *your* function can decide whether
that should count as consuming or not.
