What happened to copy/paste and unicode?

There's obviously some recent-ish change relating to the copy/paste buffer that involves unicode and some processing that I simply don't have happening in the RISC OS vm; if I try to do a copy/paste in a 4.3 image on RISC OS it gets all nasty and refuses to play.
Something to do with UTF8ClipboardInterpreter (what?) >fromSystemClipboard etc.

It would almost certainly be faster for someone to explain what got changed than for me to start fiddling around randomly. What happened? What is *supposed* to happen?

By "gets all nasty and refuses to play" do you mean stripping the
carriage-returns?

Much nastier; looks like some irritating initialisation problem. If I copy something from an external doc I can paste it into Squeak Ok. Then I can copy and paster from within Squeak after that. So the question becomes why does it work perfectly well in a 4.0 image but not a 4.3? Sigh.
