Yes, it's still a problem. Here's the procedure:
1. Run xterm (remotely connected, under X11)
2. Display text containing a URL of interest in the xterm session
3. Select the URL (using the mouse)
4. Using the menu, select Edit->Copy
5. Command-Tab to Safari ... now take your time
(has the selection disappeared yet?)
6. Command-N to open a new Safari window
(yes, the selection has invariably gone by now)
7. Paste doesn't work: go back to step 3 and redo
It's rather odd: after being selected and copied the first time, the
selection seems to stay on the clipboard for only a second or so; if I do
this a second time, generally it hangs around a little longer, long enough
to be pasted.
I report this with problem ID 3478623 back in November: I see its status
is now Closed/Duplicate.
Talking about X11 bug reports, what's the status of these ones? They're
both marked as Open/Analyze:
3511264 X11 refuse all input if key pressed while changing focus. This
was discussed on the board a few months ago and was successfully
reproduced.
3511268 When a new window is created, dragging it causes all X11 windows
to be dragged.
