FWIW, I'm having a similar proble with MinTTY. If I select text in a 
MinTTY window,
then copy text withing a GUI app, like TextPad (http://textpad.com), 
clipboard stops
working for all apps.

If I ten return to the original, MinTTY window, and reselect text, paste 
it, that works and
then copy and paste work in all apps, again.
