This is generally between and xterm and another Mac app. I have a Logitech MX mouse so at have at least three buttons. I do have Enable Key Equivalents set - never bothered to train my body to use the Meta key:-) Here's what I do: To copy Cx) In X11 - point with left button, hold down button and sweep contents Cm) In Mac App - Same as above but use Cmd-C to copy To paste Px) In X11 - (point where relevant) and middle click mouse Pm) In Mac - create entry point with left mouse button and Cmd-V 99.9% of the time - this just works. What occasionally happens is that I do Cx - and then attempt Pm - but get the old buffer contents. If I redo Cx - and redo the Pm - but the buffer doesn't change. As I said I am generally in the middle of something, so don't stop and poke about to find out what else isn't happening. It's quicker often to kill and restart X11 get the contents I need again and pick them up. I suppose it would be helpful to find out if Px works at this point.

I've had a several occasions in the last week or so when selecting in an xterm doesn't get into the Apple buffer for pasting. It's terribly intermittent and I haven't tried to reproduce it. My usual ploy is to kill X11 and restart - because of course I am in the middle of something.
Is there anything useful I can do when this happens to determine the cause??
How are you expecting it to get there? Are you pressing cmd-c? Do you have 'enable key equivalents' enabled? The contents are copied over when you leave X11, so the command 'pbpaste' won't show the new contents.
