Check of you have a clipboard manager running and disable it.
I don't run anything like that normally, but I have this feeling that virt-viewer does something that might resemble a clipboard manager so it can capture the selection and send the info about it into the virtual machine. I know the virtual machine needs to be running an "agent" service to talk to the outside world via a virtual serial port (or something like that, anyway - I'm very fuzzy on the details :-).
;-)
Of course I'm also fuzzy on the details about how x2go deals with selections, so that's fuzzy squared :-).
Well, I sometimes use virt-manager via nx, but I have not tried using cut'n'paste there. I have no access to that environment currently, so I cannot check.
Due to a bug in Ubuntu around 2012 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxrandr/+bug/985202) x2go had disabled XFIXES in the default settings for some time. So maybe this is disablement is still valid in your environment. Please check /etc/x2go/x2goagent.options. This should NOT be in there:
X2GO_NXAGENT_DEFAULT_OPTIONS+=" -extension XFIXES"
You can also check this inside your session by running xdpyinfo | grep XFIXES.
