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.

Below is what I got some time ago, it seems to work ...

   I have the same effect here. It seems xterm has a special cut/paste
   logic that gives a nonempty selection on the xterm preference over
   the cut buffer.

Use the following XTerm resource to override this behavior:

! emacs only copies to cut buffer 0.  xterm by default 
! wants to paste from the PRIMARY selection
! make unshift middle be cut buffer 0, shift middle be PRIMARY
XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
	~Meta ~Shift <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
	~Meta Shift <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY)


The Meta thing may not be necessary.  Note that the above causes R2
xterms to dump core, but works for R3 and R4.
