Please find out what is calling `x-get-selection-internal' when you open
the Imenu.

Then, find out what program owns the selection and why we are not
reading the STRING data correctly, by sending the debug output after
adding this line to the top of xselect.c:

  #define TRACE_SELECTION

(Also, this should be sent to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org.)
