The upshot here is, something is different and wrong in 1.5x that
wasn't a problem in 1.4x. Formatting of tabular material was
preserved
upon paste but now it is lost, and pasting multiple cells fails.
I'm not sure it's a problem with 1.5.x per se, since it works fine
for me on Win XP and apparently works on Debian Etch as well. I
wonder if this could be specific to OS X? It doesn't seem like the
sort of problem that would be specific to an OS, but who knows?
Can any other Mac user confirm the problem?

Yes, with 1.5.1 on OSX PPC 10.4:
- Make a 2x2 table.
- Insert apa (or whatever) in the upper row cells
- copying these and paste in the two lower cells. I get apa9apa (note
the 9!) in the cell where the cursor is positioned.
- If I copy to another table I get the same behaviour. Seems
independent of whether the table is in a float or not.
- I get the same behaviour with the 1.6-trunk (as of Aug 30, the Aug
31 build crashes when attempting to copy). Perhaps unrelated, in 1.6
the text in the first table disappears when I move the cursor out of
the table and re-appears when I create the second table.
