Setting `clipboard=unnamedplus' doesn't affect the issue, fortunately. Yanking and pasting in a single vim instance, and between vim processes works perfectly. The issue only appears when trying to paste text from the X clipboard that is not in a vim selection format. If `clipboard=unnamedplus', pressing `p' defaults to pasting from the "+ register, and `clipboard=unnamed' from the "* register. This allows easier interaction with the X clipboard, and so one is more likely to notice this in practice. On the Mac, setting unnamedplus and enabling the native clipboard sync is a disaster, because the sync annoyingly overwrites the contents of the X CLIPBOARD with the same text but in the non-vim format. This is a bug of the X11 server application on OS X, but it highlights this particular incompatibility with the X clipboard system.
