I have the same problem. I use metacity, but don't think it is related to metacity. It goes like this:
I want to copy-paste some text from terminal 1 to terminal 2, using mouse only.
(1) I use mouse left button to select some text in terminal 1.
(2) Move mouse over the terminal 2, click with left button to set focus to it.
(3) Click mouse wheel button to paste the selection into terminal 2.

The problem is in step 2. Often I make a tiny move during the click, thus making a new selection in terminal 2. The original selection from terminal 1 is lost, and I can start over with step (1).
