This characteristic of X is a pain in gvim where it pastes at the copy point instead of the last insertion point, unlike vim in a console, where it pastes at the current insertion point. i.e. in gvim, X moves the current insertion point to the double click, while in a console the insertion point remains where it was. A big difference in efficiency when editing, especially when doing quick variable name copies to avoid typing. This doesn't happen in an X term since there is only one insertion point. I just checked, and it pastes properly there.
In gvim, X doesn't move the insertion point. Gvim is a graphical application, so it knows fully about the mouse. Vim is a console application and does not know about the mouse. In that case, the middle click is interpreted by the terminal program which feeds the clipboard contents as keyboard input. As a very clear example, compare the difference between gvim and vim when pasting while in command mode.
