OK, seems like you need to compile QEMU with CONFIG_VTE enabled (i.e. with the vte-devel packages installed before running configure) to get copy-n-paste support in the GTK interface, that's why I was initially not able to reproduce this issue. Anyway, now I can trigger the assert(), too, and I've suggested a patch here:
