It is more standard by the virtue of having worked for decades, C-Ins S-Ins S-Del existed way before the C-C C-V C-X tryptich, and still working today in most contexts.
Terminal application should leave standard hotkeys for applications running in terminals. It is the reason why modern terminals use [Ctrl+Shift+c] and [Ctrl+Shift+v] instead of conventional [Ctrl+c] and [Ctrl+v]. That is why I am against idea of adding [Ctrl+Insert] to xterm bindings.
In Emacs C-<insert> is bound to `kill-ring-save'.
Works for me. The author of XTerm is quite reactive if you can explain the issue clearly, I am not surprised it was fixed.
My impression, it was a decision to support only single storage for handling selection. I like that it was changed.
