Are you sure the OP has the same version installed?
In any case, try to see what happens when you call kill-new instead of
copy-region-as-kill: if kill-new sets the clipboard instead of
appending, then the problem is that somehow Emacs thinks the previous
command was also kill-region. If kill-new also appends, then I
suggest to step with Edebug through kill-new and see what's going on
there. Perhaps there's some customization which causes this, or maybe
interprogram-cut-function does something unusual in this case.
