--- Comment #2 from tmacalp <[email protected]> ---
It does look a bit similar to bug 51757 on the surface, but is different.  This
is a difficult behavior to describe, so I've created/attached another pdf in an
attempt to better describe what's happening.

You're right, there are a number of ways to work around it (use copy instead of
paste, paste somewhere else first, paste-undo-paste, drag-and-drop, etc...). 
This sneaky bug can and will mysteriously ruin spreadsheets.   Cutting/pasting
is not an uncommon operation.  In many cases, users will cause unintentional
errors that aren't discovered until months later.

The user that discovered this bug uses calc for charting/listing financial
data.  He cut/pasted data in from a generated csv file.  It wasn't until he was
about to show these results that he noticed certain formulas throughout his
spreadsheet mysteriously changed to incorrect values.  

While there are “work arounds,” this bug will lead to extremely unprofessional
and embarrassing mistakes.  I'm sure it has affected quite a few people over
the years, but they simply chalked it up to not being careful.
