If it changes, we can't ignore it; in principle select-coerce could do things like apply `string-to-int' or even `read' to the selection text.

Sounds to me like get-clipboard is broken, then, in the sense that what we need it to do here doesn't conform to the definition of interprogram-paste-function. Yup; this patch works for me on X11, and simply adding (setq interprogram-paste-function 'get-clipboard) to the init file reverts to old broken-on-X11 behavior in case this doesn't quite do it for you somehow. Please let me know if you have problems, but this is good enough for 21.4.8.
