The following command works well in the command line and copies a string to
two X-window targets:

echo "Hello world" | tee >(xclip -i -selection primary) >(xclip -i
-selection clipboard) >/dev/null

The following two tmux binding commands work well too:

bind-key -n -t emacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "xclip -i -selection primary"

bind-key -n -t emacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "xclip -i -selection clipboard"

But the following tmux binding command which is supposed to copy a
selection to two targets doesn't:

bind-key -n -t emacs-copy M-w copy-pipe "tee >(xclip -i -selection primary)
>(xclip -i -selection clipboard) >/dev/null"

Why?

More generally, is there a better way to copy a string to two X window
targets?
