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)
Accordingly to emacs bug tracker your problem was fixed 5 years ago:

Yank causes hang
I saw hangs trying to paste from X clipboard but I decided that
conditions were quite exotic. I experimented with running browser as
untrusted X client. Firefox was unhappy, emacs (running as usual)
started to eat CPU on attempt to yank text copied from browser. Since I
was unsure what selection operations are not allowed to untrusted X
clients, I decided to just give up. However I believe that emacs could
behave better in such cases.
If you have steps to reproduce, you could file a new bug.
