As far as I know, all "complex" objects in the windows clipboard, such as formatted text, images etc. is stored as rtf-object. 
BTW: There is also a bug #3611 which was marked as dublicate of #633 but its not the exact reason.

I recognized that the copy and paste bug #3611 works on some systems. I may have to do with some X11 library/KDE Lib versions. etc.  Is there a kind of WINEDEBUG option to track what happens when copy/paste in application?
On the other side I saw a lot of applications by which the copy/paste does not work. It seems to be a much bigger issue than assumed.
