I have done some debugging on this. I inserted
printf("output plugin activated for clipboard: %s\n",
(*out)->get_id());
at line 1202 of src/ui/clipboard.cpp.
The routine ClipboardManagerImpl::_onGet is called repeatedly (presumably
triggered by an external program creating a clipboard read request), with
different possible clipboard formats.
In my case, I was running Matlab and Teamviewer, and the following clipboard
requests were tracked over a 10 second period:
output plugin activated for clipboard: org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape
output plugin activated for clipboard: org.inkscape.output.png.cairo
output plugin activated for clipboard: org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape

As can be seen, the repeated requests cause Inkscape to try and export the
copied data every few seconds, in multiple formats.
Some of the formats cause errors, for example
org.ekips.output.hpgl
org.inkscape.output.plt
So one temporary workaround to prevent the error dialogs is to remove
those extensions:
cd /usr/local/share/inkscape/extensions
files="
gimp_xcf.inx
dxf_output.inx
hpgl_output.inx
jessyInk_export.inx
plt_output.inx
sk1_output.inx
svg2fxg.inx
svg2xaml.inx
ink2canvas.inx
"
for x in $files ; do sudo mv $x $x.disabled ; done
(you may need to do this in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions, depending on
installation).
However this doesn't fix the underlying problem, and inkscape is still silently
exporting the clipoard many times a second in many other formats.
