If there is a possibility that copy-paste will result to an error, whole distro is useless for serious production use. It is really sad, testing this kind of bug is so uncertain and difficult. In my opinion programmer should be able to guarantee that such error can not take place. Otherwise there are something fundamentally wrong in design.
Sorry, I am a big fan of Ubuntu and would like to see open source success in office environment, but this bug seems a show stopper for me if community is incapable of fixing it 100%.
