The idea of the new Emacs behavior is that you should put text in the clipboard from xterm as well. AFAIU, that's the "new wave" in selection- and clipboard-related behavior on X. etc/NEWS tells about these changes under "Selection changes", and also describes how to get the old behavior back. If the recipe there doesn't fit the bill, please "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" with the details.
