On windows, this doesn't clobber the X pastebuffer, because Windows
has a different convention for copy&paste. Additionally, highlighting
the URL on windows does not give the user an affordance that the
highlighted text is now in the pastebuffer. On X, even if you take
special steps to not clobber the pastebuffer when you highlight the
URL, it still gives the user the affordance that this data is now in
the pastebuffer.
In short: you break Linux by doing this.

Not true. No mainstream browser on Linux does this.
