I agree that I forgot to remove "chris writes:" line since I did not put 
anything from your messages. However I believed it is clear enough that 
with such style your quotes would have one more ">" character at 
beginning of lines.

Does it mean that you did something in settings to get 
clipboard&selection behavior more close to your expectations? Since I 
have klipper disabled, I do not remember its defaults and effects of its 
settings.

Low quality touchpad that accidentally spits middle-click events should 
be a real pain. However I can not understand your phrase above.

C-y queries desktop clipboard or/and selection (depending on 
`select-enable-clipboard' and `select-enable-primary' values), so it may 
affect result of the following commands.

What is the source of '(kill-new "kill-new from Emacs")' text in PRIMARY 
selection? Did it survived since you selected it in the message to paste 
it to Emacs?

Does it happen when klipper is not running? I do not know if it is 
possible to enable logging of clipboard and selection events to shed 
some light which application push content to them. Maybe application can 
be obtained from some "type" present in "wl-paste --list-types" output 
(and with --primary).

Even
    emacsclient -e select-enable-primary
    emacsclient -e select-enable-clipboard
may clarify things a bit.

So either
- clipboard manager does some fancy stuff (e.g. to make clipboard 
content available after application quit or to copy text from selection 
to clipboard or vice versa) and emacs is confused by such actions
- or pgtk emacs builds have some clipboard problems on wayland.

Till behavior of emacs+wayland+clipboard manager is clarified it is hard 
to make conclusions related to org-protocol behavior.
