Following a discussion on the newsgroup, there is a workaround:

- Before cutting something from an Epoch window, go to an xterm window
  and then select (e.g. cut) a single space: 
  point at a space, press left button, keep pressed, move mouse to the right
  so that the space is in rev. video.
- This apparently clears the previous selection.
- From this point on, you can cut something from Epoch and paste it into an xterm window.
- Cutting again in an non-Epoch window will require repeating the procdure.
- This may work with non-xterm windows, but I have not checked it.
