Right.  The same happens with the DOS version of
x-get-selection-value.

This is because mouse-2 no longer calls `yank'.  It's unrelated to the
change I made, which was the minimal change to get mouse-2 back to
Windows users.  This is a temporary change; I intend to start a
discussion about some of the fallout issues when the dust settles a
bit.

What happens when you do that on X?  What happens on X when you type
C-y after mouse-2?
