I filed a bug report about this a few weeks ago. https://hub.qgis.org/issues/16351
I was using the nightly release and noticed that copying attributes worked in some versions but not others. I havent had the problem since I stopped upgrading the nightly but pasting features is something I dont need to do very often.
