A few findings:

1. > Turning on "Ignore selection" in the clipboard settings has stopped it.

Not good, I use it all the time, in vim or out.

2. The failure occurs if the selection is more than 262144 bytes, 2**18.

3. A workaround for me is to take the suggestion in the comment in 
x_error_handler in os_unix.c:

/* Silently continuing might be an alternative... */

and commenting out the preserve_exit() call.
