Copy and paste problem in 4.3.0-42

I've been struggling with a problem that sometimes copy&paste
from Linux to Windows does not work and I've finally got a 
reproduceable case on my machine:

- Load a particular document(not attached) in OpenOffice
- Select all
- Copy 
- Paste in e.g. NotePad
- Nothing happens
- Error in XWin.log:

winClipboardFlushXEvents - SelectionNotify - X*TextPropertyToTextList returned:
XConverterNotFound


Notes:

- if I add or remove a letter in the OO document, the problem no longer
happens. I would have liked to attach a reproduceable case, but I prefer to
limit the distribution of the document to those working on the xserv due to
its content(unexciting, but not the sort of thing to post on the net).
- The document is not big.
- A workaround to is to first select, copy and paste the first half, then to
select, copy and paste the second half. This is kinda strange, because implies
that it is the document as a whole and not parts of it that xserv is
choking on.
