Are you just selecting the text in Xiphos and doing ctrl+c to copy? Or are you using the right click->copy/export option? If the latter, are you choosing HTML or Plain Text? If you choose right-click->copy/export, then that code would be written by the Xiphos team (the actual clipboard stuff I did, actually). If you are just selecting out of Xiphos, then that would be gtkhtml where we have little control (except to quit using it, which we are working on). Also, the copy/export option should preserve the encoding, whereas copying just a portion of the HTML would not. As Dima explains, copy/pasting is a complicated operation. Notepad would only receive "plain text", whereas Facebook (or Firefox) might be trying to interpret it as "rich text" (eg, HTML). A better test than using Notepad would be pasting into MS Word.
