I need to be able to do this as well, for a registration stack

(to/from clipboard) not working as it should. You have described it
perfectly.
One thing you might have to do is add a pasteKey handler to the dialog
card. In my app, there are not yet any menus loaded when the initial
registration window appears, so there is no automatic editing
capabilities. I don't need copying, but I did need pasting, so I added
this to the card:
on pasteKey
put the clipboardData["text"] into fld "myRegField"
end pasteKey
Or you might want to use "the selectedfield" if you allow pasting to any
field. If you do need the ability to copy, take a look at "copyKey" in
the docs and write a handler to catch that message too.
Adding the pasteKey handler got it working for me on all platforms,
except that on Windows it works only some of the time.

I restarted WinXP, copied some text in Notepad, closed Notepad,

made a new stack with a field, and pasted. And that worked too. So it
isn't consistent. Today's test seems to show that Rev doesn't
automatically clear the clipboard.
I wish I could pin down when it fails, because I have a standalone
with a registration dialog that users paste a serial number into. If
they copy the serial from an email and launch my app, it only pastes
sporadically. If the dialog is already open when they flip over to
email to copy, it pastes every time.
