There are two issues here:
a) emacs is misconfigured to run netscape to browse a URL. I have
submitted a patch to fix this, i.e. by running htmlview instead.
b) In the splash buffer image, emacs maps mouse button 2 to browse
www.gnu.org, i.e. so that text cannot be pasted at this point. This is
actually a (mis)feature, not a bug. (The code is in lisp/startup.el).
Probably the best way to deal with this is to disable the splash buffer
entirely, by adding the following to your .emacs:
(setq inhibit-startup-message t)
