(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got little response at
the time.)

It looks like this was fixed by this change:

    Fix XTerm OSC 52 selection retrieval (bug#36879)
    
    When asking XTerm for the selection via OSC 52, use ST as string
    terminator in the request to get ST as terminator in the reply,
    because BEL is messy to receive in many ways.
    
Does this work for you in Emacs 28?
