Middle click pastes a different clipboard, the SELECTION as opposed to the
standard clipboard, i.e. something that got selected with the mouse.
Recommended behaviour[1] for X applications is to never overwrite clipboard on
selection and never overwrite selection on clipboard copy or cut.
Applications that don't want to offer clipboard paste are free to paste
clipboard contents when the user requests selection paste, i.e. when clicking
middle mouse button.

Maybe it just inspects the selection instead of both clipboards (actually
three, but the third isn't used)

Not that I am aware of, just keeping selection and clipboard separated as
recommended.
