Unless someone else has a better idea, one thing that might be worth a shot if you have the time is to do a emacs build from source with: ./configure CFLAGS="-DTRACE_SELECTION" and then launch emacs -Q 2>/tmp/selection.log and do one or two clipboard-hitting operations. This is liable to produce voluminous output, but the log might reveal some shenanigans afoot.
