Please check your Control Panel Mouse settings to verify that you do not have "middle button emulate" enabled, which can mess with the second button, or anything else that might be re-interpreting the buttons.
As a workaround, try using <ctrl-insert> to paste. this works for me both from X and Windows apps on XP.
