That last suggestion about interference from another app, was the clue I needed.  Turn's out it was Tiger vnc's vncviewer.  I seem to have fixed it by adding -SendPrimary=0 to all vncviewer calls.  I will probably also add the parameter to each server's start up parameters as well.

Note that I usually have at least tree remote desktops open at many one time.  I will file a bug report on tiger vnc as soon as I am sure this resolves the issue.
