I missed this in my earlier reply, but junk between entries is ignored  
by the parser; technically, you can put any text you like in a BibTeX  
file, without using @comment or % comments.  Sniffing the clipboard  
text to see which (if any) supported type it contains is difficult to  
do reliably.

It's actually odd that the New Pubs From Clipboard action fails, and  
the  "verbose" flag in -[BibDocument  
newPublicationsForString:type:verbose:error] appears to be  
responsible; my comments in that code about partial data predates the  
verbose option, and are now out of context, so I'm not sure what's  
going on.  Additionally, -[BibDocument importFromPasteboardAction:]  
checks for a non-nil error, which is not correct.
