No real solution from me either but perhaps a little less ponderous 
workaround:
I've found that copying text and then pasting it into a terminal doesn't 
always work. I'm using Clipman as a workaround on Xfce. The copied text 
does show up in the list of Clipman and after selecting it in that list 
it can be pasted into a terminal. Clipman (xfce4-clipman-plugin) lives 
in the Xfce panel and keeps track of your last clipboard entries.
