I noticed that last night. The GTK+ framework preserves text attributes during copy and paste. Since the transcript text is not editable, neither is a pasted copy of some selection of that text.
I'll see whether I can figure out how to override that behavior. Meanwhile, you can use aplwrap's "copy-down" feature. Select some text in the transcript and press Enter; the selection will be copied down to the input area; this copy is editable.
