Vim has a concept of selections over characters/lines/block. When pasting from the OS X Pasteboard MacVim has to guess which of these to use. From your description this is what is causing the discrepancy. Can you give me a simple reproducible case that exhibits unexpected behavior. I might be able to fix it.
