Might indeed be a stray cosmic ray, or temporarily insane electrons, but this

My first suspicion would be a mouse/window focus problem. It did paste it, but 
not in the window you were expecting it to. Since you can paste into emacs, the 
problem is either intermittent, or somehow limited to GnuCash.

I do know GnuCash on MacOS at least, has a focus problem where you must click 
the title bar sometimes to get it to accept input even though the window 
‘appears’ to be in focus. If that’s your OS, do a search for some threads in 
the last 6-8 months and something might pop up. I think though this isn’t a 
GnuCash bug, but a GTK+ bug. (if I recall correctly.)

Maybe do a trial with clicking the GnuCash title bar first, then pasting, and 
see which window it gets pasted into.

Regards,
Adrien
