Given that I'm running without a .emacs file, I would think this would
be easy to duplicate. Just load a text file with a .arc extension and
try and select test in emacs and middle-button paste in a non-emacs
window. When I do that, I get nothing.


In that case you might run into an error: auto-mode-alist will have

("\\.\\(arc\\|zip\\|lzh\\|lha\\|zoo\\|[jew]ar\\|xpi\\|rar\\|ARC\\| ZIP\\|LZH\\|LHA\\|ZOO\\|[JEW]AR\\|XPI\\|RAR\\)\\'" . archive-mode)


Copying a text file to name.arc and opening it in 'emacs -Q' gives me a Fundamental View and no problems with copy and paste. Problems start when the "ARC" file contains control characters or characters that cannot be displayed in the buffer's encoding and therefore are printed as \<some octal codes>.

Having set LC_CTYPE to <country>_<COUNTRY>.UTF-8 I don't get autocomposed characters ...
