OK, I guess I found a solution:  I have had a similar issue with
org-capture were emacs freezed as well.  However, org-capture did
work in xterm and I thought about some weird usage of the X11
clipboard manager.  After doing some more research, I found [1].
According to Daimrod's Blog, the workaround is:

  (setq x-selection-timeout 10)

This seems to work for org-ref as well as org-capture.
