--> You forgot to add what follows at the end of your customize.xxe_gui:
---
<layout>
<hidden>
<insert/>
<command name="bluestream.paste" />
</hidden>
</layout>
---
For example, the attached customize.xxe_gui works fine.
See http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/gui/hidden.html
--> What you have done will indeed change the behavior of the Paste menu
items and also of the Paste toolbar buttons. However it will have no
special effect when a user will press Ctrl-V, Ctrl-U, Ctrl-W. In such
case, it's the stock paste command which will be invoked.
The solution is to replace the stock paste command and not to register a
bluestream.paste command.
Therefore, the following, simpler, customize.xxe_gui should do what you
expect (in almost all the cases because some commands may directly
instantiate com.xmlmind.xmledit.cmd.edit.Paste for their own internal
needs):
---
<gui xmlns="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/gui";
xmlns:gui="http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/schema/gui";>
<command name="paste">
<class>com.bluestream.docbook.copypaste.BSPaste</class>
</command>
<layout>
<hidden>
<insert/>
<command name="paste" />
</hidden>
</layout>
</gui>

--> Please do not use any of the methods documented as:

Description copied from interface: XNode

Such (weakly typed) methods are public only by necessity and could be
removed at any time without notice.
Instead, please use the native (strongly typed) DOM of XXE. In your
case, it's Element.getAttribute(Name)
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xml/doc/Element.html#getAttribute(com.xmlmind.xml.name.Name)
However this does not explain your problem (which is probably caused by
a mistake you made in the creation of the attribute name).
--> Please take the time to read:
XMLmind XML Editor - Developer's Guide, Programming the Document Object
Model:
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/dev/dom.html
You'll see there that:
element.getAttribute(Name.XML_ID)
or
element.getAttribute(Name.get(Namespace.XML, "id"))
and
element.getAttribute(Name.get(Namespace.NONE, "arch"))
or
element.getAttribute(Name.get("arch"))
are the recommended methods to access attributes "xml:id" and "arch".
