Ned Deily added the comment:

Unfortunately, there is no one right answer to paste behavior on X11, unlike on 
native Windows and Mac implementations where there is essentially system-wide 
consistent paste behavior enforced by the underlying operating system.  As the 
Tk Wiki points out (and the comments hers concur), different users are going to 
have different expectations.  If we want to make this behavior available with 
X11 Tk, then it really should be a user configurable option.  Without providing 
an option, the overriding design principle is that the status quo wins a 
stalemate
