Test case:
1. Create a new 5x5 table
2. Fill the cells in the first two rows with some random content
3. Cut the content of the fourth column (cells in 1st and 2rd row)
4. Cut some text from the first cell in row 1
5. Paste it into the empty cell in row 1, column 4

Yes, this is by design. Multi-cell content uses a separate cut/paste
buffer ("clipboard") from ordinary text (== single-cell content)
Having two different clipboards made sense in LyX 1.3 when we had a
special cursor position at the beginning of a cell. Now that there is no
visual distinction between a cell as a whole and its content, there
should be only one clipboard from the point of view of a user. That does
not mean that LyX is not allowed to handle both cases differently
internally. We only have to decide which clipboard was filled most
recently. (It might make sense how MS Word and OOo handle cut & paste in
tables.)
Please put this into bugzilla once Lars gets it up again.
I will do so.
