At the moment there is a known issue which will cause the wrong text to 
be pasted in sometimes as per my other recent mail.

Just in case: also note C-y and mouse-2 should now be behaving more like 
C-v and mouse-2 in non-emacs, it will require a more precise 
reproduction recipe to determine if "wrong" is really-wrong or 
correct-but-different-to-prior-defaults behaviour (or right now, the 
known issue).

You mean you were - starting from "emacs -Q" - selecting some text with 
the mouse, _without_ hitting C-w/M-w to cut/copy it, then successfully 
inserting it with C-y?

If so, that shouldn't have worked at all (!).

...I see the reporter of #6637 appears to have been using cygwin's x11.
In this instance, the problem _might_ not be on emacs' side, especially 
given the long pause you describe: cygwin's x11 server may be doing 
something peculiar in its handling of x11 clipboard and/or primary, 
especially since it probably tries to integrate somehow with the w32 
native clipboard facilities.
