No, there is no upstream bug for this. (And I've never seen it (*))

If you track it down to something we'd have a prayer of debugging
(:-) please make sure to clearly distinguish

 - The clipboard
 - Middle button paste (primary selection)

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fclipboards_2dspec

May be useful.

(*) I have a vague memory of years ago seeing middle button paste
    stop working for some reason and having to track that down
    (it wasn't a GTK+ bug). But no hope of remembering what
    it was at this point.
