How else can we explain the fact that I personally never saw this?
It could be application-specific, though (I mean the other apps,
those with which you are trying to exchange the text).

No. Newer versions of X and/or some applications use UTF-8 etc.
In addition, the type of the selection is a parameter: some
applications use UTF_STRING and other types, which Emacs didn't
support until very recently.
