Already did: no error, but also not using stuff from the clipboard.  I
was just looking how my emacs would do a paste, and traced it to that
function:

(defun clipboard-yank ()
  "Insert the clipboard contents, or the last stretch of killed text."
  (interactive "*")
  (let ((x-select-enable-clipboard t))
    (yank)))

When I call that function interactively, it pastes the clipboard into
my buffer.

No, not really.  I do not understand enough of that stuff to make a
meaningful bug report.
