Having the same wxMaxima version installed, I cannot reproduce this. Copy and 
paste works here as expected. You could check what is in the clipboard with 
the xsel utility (try "xsel -psb" to output the content of all X selections) 
and verify with it that nothing is transferred from wxMaxima to the X 
selections.

I'm not an X expert but maybe the desktop environment influences the X 
selections. Which one are you using and have you tried c&p in other 
environments? I tested wxMaxima within KDE 4.

It would be also interesting to try out other applications that are linked to 
libwxbase2.8-0 and to check if c&p works there. amule would be such an 
application.

Cheers
