It sounds like it - it's only been out for 8 or 9 months but I guess no-one had tried shift+dragging with the mouse yet, or else hadn't reported the problem.
I just got the dual boot working with Xubuntu 15.10 and got it to hang, testing with 24.5.1, but it's okay on Windows or in a Xubuntu VM.
I'll add a warning to the package, and see if I can make a minimal function to reproduce the error - I guess it would be something like check the clipboard contents, shift+down, then shift+mouse+dragdown? I'm not sure how the polling timer might fit into it, as it seemed to hang instantly on dragging the mouse down.
