I think that this is expected/normal behavior, not a bug. I would assume that choosing "copy link location" (from surf or from *any* program) would put the link into CLIPBOARD. And sselp (version 0.2) prints the contents of PRIMARY (acting like the middle mouse button a.k.a. button 2). This article [1] explains how the different X selections work.
You can use xsel -ob to get the link printed. Note that xsel -o is equivalent to ssellp.
If anyone wants to update the webpage (
https://tools.suckless.org/x/sselp) or manpage of sselp to add that it works on the PRIMARY selection, I think that would be an improvement in its documentation.
