This is not normal, and I can reproduce the issue.
However, it does not look like Org is doing anything wrong. We call
kill-new with the correct value containing only visible part of the
buffer.

I suggest you to file a bug report to Emacs itself using M-x report-emacs-bug
In the report, you can cite this email.

Below, I am also detailing steps to reproduce to help Emacs devs debug
the problem:

1. Create bug.el with the following contents:
----
(custom-set-variables
 '(select-enable-clipboard nil)
 '(select-enable-primary t))
(defun my/copy-const (beg end)
  (interactive "r")
  (setq deactivate-mark t)
  (kill-new "Constant string"))
----
2. Create bug.org with the following contents:
----
* headline
Hidden text inside
* another headline
----
3. emacs -Q -l /path/to/bug.el /path/to/bug.org
4. S-<TAB>
5. M-x my/copy-const
6. C-y

Expected: "Constant string" is inserted
Observed: Selected region is inserted.
