FWIW, there's some info in bug#16737 which looks very much like a
duplicate of this one (I tried merging them but I got an error because
their importance is different). Could you have a look ? In particular I
mentionned there:
> Whenever I eval (x-get-selection 'SECONDARY) (or 'PRIMARY or

Hopefully this answers your question.

But now it's been a few days (perhaps weeks) that I have not seen this
problem.

Copy/pasting between other apps worked fine, even pasting into a newly
started emacs session worked.
