I've never encountered the issue.

I don't have a Mac handy to try it on right now, but I just tested it on 
this windows machine and I don't see this problem in either RR 2.1.2 or 
2.7.2

I wonder what that indicates? If it makes a difference, my pastes always 
go through my own script, which issues the paste command, and the 
clipboard is always plain text.
