We really should test RTF stuff also at least on MS
WordPad or we risk making things too Word-specific.
Anyone with access to Mac OSX is also encouraged to
test all RTF stuff with the standard Mac text editor
which also now uses RTF.

That will be using plain text then. Though there are
several ways that cutting and pasting plain text works
in Unix. Selection vs true cut and paste. The app
you are pasting from also has a choice of clipboard
formats to use and Abi does not support all
possibilities.
