I can reproduce this issue with current versions of Midori. I can
also reproduce it with current versions of Opera and Firefox.
The "core" of the problem is that copy-and-paste isn't as simple as it
sounds, and basically Firefox, Opera and Midori choose to do things in
a way that is at odds with the way traditional programs like xterm and
Emacs behave. For gory details:

In Emacs, you can work around this with the following in .emacs:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
Unfortunately I don't know how to address the issue generally;
particularly, I haven't worked out how to make pasting from
fancy-pants browsers into xterm/rxvt work.
Also unfortunately, I don't have references to the "WONTFIX: we like
it this way, so you can just go to hell" responses from the Firefox
developers. I vaguely recall that it doesn't affect people who are
running bloaty desktop environments like KDE and GNOME, presumably
because some intermediary clipboard daemon ensures that all the
clipboard subsystems contain the same data.
