Of the 7 times listed in the bug-report, I started four times 26.2, three of
those operated the .emacs file.
1. did *not* show the problem
2. did show the problem
3. did
4. did; when called as `emacs -Q`

Provided there are no nasty contaminations from the 'net, I have the plain old
platformOS, MacPort, XQuartz installed.
Copy and paste within the one Emacs is being interfered with if what you
suggest is true.

a. run Emacs
b. goto *scratch* buffer
c. create new frame
d. lookup keybindings for *scratch* buffer
e. find `self`
f. for the two variants of \200 copy and paste details buffer to *scratch*
Repeat the above a-f steps 7 times as listed in the bug-report for those
platforms detailed.

I am inside the one Emacs's copy and paste, and not going out of the Emacs.

That was the emacs-bug-report mechanism in Emacs that did that.
