I guessed so...
Yes, it would be good to do something better but doing so will require some work. Scintilla and SciTE rely on the iconv (or g_iconv) function to convert between character sets. When iconv can't convert all of a string it fails. GTK+ 2.x has another function g_convert_with_fallback which could be used to either replace nonconvertible characters with either some other text (traditionally '?') or with Unicode escapes like \u2014.
Well frankly I do not expect anyone to come up with a patch in the near future, so what I suggest is to modify the pasting algorithm to simply forward text unmodified that fails with iconv. I'd rather have some control characters in my document than having nothing at all.
