Save selected text from Safari to a text file

Agreed: Services is the way to go here.

As for making clippings from Safari (or any Cocoa app): highlight your selection, then click-and-hold-briefly before starting the drag. OS 9 (and 8 and maybe 7.x...?) used to give visual feedback that indicated "you are now able to drag" (and it was nearly instantaneous); in OS X you just need to pause for half a second before beginning the drag -- there is no visual feedback. It becomes second nature after a few tries....
