You're probably using TERM=xterm on a terminal which isn't xterm and doesn't support the xterm method to set the X clipboard. Either use the right TERM for gnome-terminal (TERM=gnome), or turn off the set-clipboard option in tmux.
We should probably make this dependent on the xterm version now we have it available...
