This is expected behavior at this point (see bug 1628081 for a similar report).

because the selection is programmatic, and not user-done, we don't set the primary clipboard. To set the primary clipboard you can triple click, like in any textbox, or you can select manually parts of the url.

What is a difference between single and triple click in regard to differentiating between "user-done" and "programmatic" selection ?
Every selection is programmatic and happens as a consequence of user action. You have just decided that singleClick will not copy selection to primary.
BTW - you have mentioned some plans in bug 1621570 about changing the behaviour of unfocused address bar. Is there any place where we could read about these plans ? I'd ask there but you restricted comments...
