I'm confused.  You said:

Do you mean that the terminal window in question was a TTY frame in
the same Emacs session as the GUI frame?  If so, copying from the
terminal frame is not copying from Emacs, but from the terminal
emulator that runs in that window, I think, as Emacs cannot access the
X selection from a TTY frame.  The selection owner in the TTY case is
the terminal emulator, not Emacs.
