I'm passing on using mintty.  But I'll give you steps to reproduce.

1) run setup.exe
2) download -- but don't install
3) run setup.exe -- install from local dir
4) in filemanager dbl-click mintty.exe
5) in the term rt-click->Options->mouse->enable copy-on-select
6) mintty becomes unresponsive
7) kill mintty.exe and the associated bash.exe

I tried these steps today and was unable to reproduce.

Q1) Does it lock up as soon as you start mintty or the first time you try to copy something? 

Q2) Have you got any clipboard utilities running? 

Q3) Does it work if you delete or rename ~/.minttyrc to go back to the default settings and copy something through the context menu?

A1) See steps to repro above
A2) Every application has access to the clipboard, right? So yes.
A3) Didn't find a .minttyrc, does mintty create one when it starts?
    What does mintty put in there if it creates one?
