Thanks J, Unfortunately, I have tried using different elements of the clipboard array already. When I copy the webpage in question (GPHIN, a restricted-access site), it returns empty on all elements of the clipboardarray in 4.0, but works fine in 2.6.1.
Also, for the second problem I listed, the clipboard["text"] element returns html text in 4.0, but works propertly 2.6.1 - this occurs when copying certain eurekalert pages.
