I hadn't tested the other direction before.  I found that it does indeed work 
the other direction.  Copying text in konsole, firefox or kwrite on the server 
always populates the client's clipboard.  And a blank line always get added to 
the server's clipboard when I copy from any application on the client.

Actually copying from any application on the client places the text in the 
clipboard, but not into the VNC servers, which it what I believe has been what 
happened in the past, and makes sense, given that I may have ten VNC viewer 
sessions open at any one time.  But in the past, accessing the clipboard on the 
client, when the a particular server has focus, and selecting any line caused 
that line to be pasted into the server clipboard.

I just checked and it appears that all open VNC viewer sessions get the blank 
line inserted in their clipboard.

This doesn't seem like an application issue to me.
