Comment(by Peter_Dyballa@…):

 I am indeed using the xorg-server-devel port on Leopard (10.5.8, PPC), and
 before I launched the recently built xorg-server 1.8.99.904 it was all OK.
 So I thought at once that this server version introduced a bug. Actually
 it seems that I was wrong, because going back to 1.8.99.903 shows the same
 behaviour. And launching an earlier version of GNU Emacs 24.0.50 (from a
 Time Machine backup – nice thing that I can see the whole file systems on
 the command line!) also shows no change. What seems to make a difference
 is the customisation applied during Emacs' start – there was an instance
 that the PRIMARY selection worked. When it worked X resources were not
 substituted by an internal struct (an Elisp "alist"). In this area code
 changes happened, were removed, were applied, were...

 BTW, GNU Emacs 24.0.50 compiled with libraries from /opt failed exactly
 the same way. With GCC 4.2.

 Temperature here is a bit lower than last night, so I'll try other Emacsen
 (23.2, 22.3) and also find by bi-secting the init files a possible cause.
