The new emacs doesn't paste input if the selection is empty but the cut
buffer is full.

To reproduce:
select text in xterm, it is highlighted.  Paste into a *scratch* buffer
with <center-mouse>.  It works.
Paste into another xterm running "cat >/dev/null"; it works.

Click the left button in the xterm with a selection; it is
de-highlighted.
<center-mouse> in a *scratch* buffer yields nothing.
<center-mouse> in the ohter xterm re-pastes the former selection.
