I think the problem is that the Gimp clipboard can only handle a single 4-value (RGBA) layer. It sounds possible to me to make it handle a set of layers, though only the Gimp developers could say if it's really feasible :) I've often thought it would be useful if any gimp tool (including Copy), not just movement, could be made to apply to a whole bunch of layers at once. Perhaps add another toggle called "selected for modification" in the Layers dialogue, along the lines of "lock for movement". And change internal structures suitably :) I have to admit to not having looked at the source to see if it is in any way practicable.
