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.
