The problem is in org-indent-refresh-section, which is run from a timer.
This function first moves point and then calls remove-text-properties,
which is considered a buffer change.  Since the mark is active, the
selection code saves the region to saved-region-selection, from which it
is later saved to the primary selection.

There are a few possible fixes, but I am yet not sure which is best.
One is to avoid setting saved-region-selection inside a timer.  Another
is for save-excursion to inhibit writing to saved-region-selection; a
third is not to treat remove-text-properties as a trigger for saving the
primary selection.
