I'm pretty sure this is expected...as Jacob says, X11 has multiple
different paste sources (selections). Middle-click almost always uses the
primary selection, which is different from the clipboard selection which
pass's use of xclip defaults to if not otherwise specified.

I believe you can override with PASSWORD_STORE_X_SELECTION
