The problem here is that the cut buffer MUST be latin1 encoded. It is not related to cut buffer: neither Opera nor vim are closed. And it seems like vim 7.3 is no longer using cut buffer. > Long story short, if you want non-lossy cut/paste then leave Vim open > until after you paste.

Using xclip fixes pasting in both directions.
