I will look into this, but not sure the app has any control over this. I imagine that variations will also give IE fits. Nasty. The workaround of going through something like notepad is not very nice. The best idea I have now is that an action could perhaps 'clean' up the result.
If you do a paste that messes things up, what happens when you do esc c and then again? That should do a reasonable job unless it gets so confused it crashes.
