FWIW, this appears to work fine for me (both selection and
copying-to-clipboard) with Chromium 4.0.266.0 (Developer Build 33995).

Chromium still seems to be in very volatile development. (I didn't
realize there was even a 'real' Chrome for Linux, though.) It wouldn't
surprise me if this simply 'fixes itself' in some future Chrome release.
