I'm actually kinda out of ideas if it's not a rogue daemon.

Unless someone else has a better idea, one thing that might be worth a 
shot if you have the time is to do a  emacs build from source with:

./configure CFLAGS="-DTRACE_SELECTION"

and then launch emacs -Q 2>/tmp/selection.log and do one or two 
clipboard-hitting operations.  This is liable to produce voluminous 
output, but the log might reveal some shenanigans afoot.
