I've seen similar things on Linux, with some programs and not others. Selection handling is more complex than I would have supposed, and sometimes different programs handle it in incompatible ways. The workaround is to use some other program as an intermediary. So e.g. if I want to paste from Thunderbird to LyX, I first paste it into kedit (a text editor), then recopy it and paste it into LyX.
