For the benefit of bystanders who might be using the Clipboard Indicator extension to Gnome, I've switched to CopyQ and been quite happy with the results. I'll know more in the next 2-3 weeks whether this problem persists in my environment when I complete my next expense report.
In the meantime, thanks to everyone involved in trying to diagnose and fix this problem. I share many people's frustrations about not getting a version of Mutter that seems to work, especially since it seems beyond me to try to upgrade Mutter independently of the rest of the operating system in order to evaluate the results.

In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails. Specifically, the paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most recently. Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior time. I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. many times every day. There is some discussion of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues- libreoffice-calc/ Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
