It seems to be application specific. When I copy to a Firefox text area
on GNU/Linux I get a truncated result, but using xclip | od -c, I can
see the NUL byte and following characters are there.

We could try fixing this in `gui-select-text', but the problem there is
that we don't necessarily know that replace NUL with "\0" is valid.

I'm not sure what you mean.
