- Select something in an xterm, and push command-C.
- De-select it, and select something ELSE.
- The something ELSE pastes within X11
- The something ELSE pastes within other cocoa apps, even though it
was not copied*.

As far as I can figure out, that must mean that the event containing
primary selection data has arrived late, or that a second, spurious such
event arrived to be handled by notify_event in the usual manner.
Why this happens to Adam and not to me is beyond my ken.
The most usual event isn't that something else is selected and then pastes
elsewhere, it's more that when the item I have selected is deselected, the
clipboard in other cocoa apps is empty.
You should be able to replicate this pretty straightforwardly. Select
something in X11 (say, a URL from pine which is my most common frustration),
then push command-C, then deselect the URL and try to paste it into Safari.
