I experienced the same problem and could narrow it down to: pasting
text from jed doesnot work with applications using the QT toolkit. 
The "normal" X clipboard works with non-QT applications.
Interestingly, pasting from QT-applications to xjed works fine.


So I read with interest your proposed workaround:

Originally, copy_kill_to_mouse_buffer() copies the region to both, the
x-selection (with x_copy_region_to_selection()) and the internal
Mouse_Buffer (used for pasting with <Shift_Middle>). So instead of
replacing copy_region(Mouse_Buffer), I recommend replacing
x_copy_region_to_selection().

I implemented this as an option in cuamouse 1.3, configurable with the
new custom variable "CuaMouse_Use_Xclip". It should be availble in a
couple of hours under
   jedmodes.sf.net/mode/cuamouse

If you want the keyboard-selected region to go to the X-selection too (I
intentionally do not want this), you can bind the relevant keys to a
command sequence like e.g.


  setkey("copy_region_to_clipboard; yp_copy_region_as_kill", "^C");

with "copy_region_to_clipboard" provide by cuamouse.sl.
