Thanks all.

AFAIS error occurs if

 '(x-select-enable-clipboard t)

in custom-file is evaluated.

Made some check-functions to watch execution. Code
attached. 

Alternating output of `custom-test' displayed switching from
correct to wrong behaviour:

Char: SPC (32, #o40, #x20) point=1 of 7 (0%) column=0
Char: C-j (10, #o12, #xa) point=2525 of 3883 (65%) <1-2618> column=27
Mark set
Char:   (2208, #o4240, #x8a0, file ...) point=1 of 7 (0%) column=0
