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
This has happened again to me. I've re-loaded my coding above to help with description. What's happening is: Cuts from X11 using Cx are pasted correctly in the X11 app world - but Pm supplies old contents Cms are pasted correctly into both worlds. Changing the Cx source to a different X11 app (tried xterm, emacs and nedit) makes no difference - pasting in the X11 world has the last paste contents but it still doesn't change the paste contents in the Mac world. Using Cmd-c or the menu option in place of Cx in the X11 app makes no difference. Typing pbpaste in the xterm after a Cx (or a Cmd-C) yields the old contents. Typing echo "new contents" | pbcopy loads the paste board in both worlds. Essentially what seems to be happening is that the copy - presumably through the X11 server - has stopped talking to the Mac world.
