It was a system update that had triggered the changed behaviour, a new version of xrdb (1.0.9). In ~/.Xresources, there was a trailing space after URxvt.keysym.Mod4-v: perl:clipboard:paste. Unusually I had not logged off the night after the update. I had a log from the following day showing that paste was working -- as it continued to do until I logged off and on again and the new xrdb parsed .Xresources. The trailing space came to light when I modified ~/.Xresources to implement Ben's good practice suggestion of keeping customisations in personal directories -- and did a diff -u to record the change. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction to solve what could have been a very difficult issue to identify and fix. The apparently inconsistent logging behaviour was caused by my incompetent perl errors in the logging code (not illustrated in the original message) which were easy to see on changing from print to file to print to stdout.
