IIRC I had this issue and "solved" it with the following config options:
    :set mouse=
    :set ttymouse=
Russell,

I just encountered this on one of my other systems and actually found
the answer to be the clipboard variable. To "fix" vim I used:
    :set clipboard=

From a quick test this stopped vim from clobbering my X11
CLIPBOARD/SELECTION on visual selection etc. Also, I am still able to
use "* and "+ to manipulate the X11 SELECTION if desired, I believe due
to my ttymouse being set to:
    ttymouse=xterm2

FWIW, my mouse variable is also unset.

Anyway, obviously, YMMV as I'm just using trial-and-error here :P
