Don't shoot with canons on sparrows (German proverb)!
I can confirm that I observed the issue, occasionally, under yet unclear 
conditions. It even stopped to work once in a terminal session where it 
initially worked. So no relation to Windows stuff to be assumed.
It would be helpful to find a pattern that raises the issue. It would 
also be helpful to check whether it occurs with mintty 3.0.0, as there 
were some minor clipboard modifications in 3.0.1.
