If we know where the clipboard data was originally located (I don't know if that information is stored)

Of course it is stored - the objecty is copied with its own transform and other attributes, and that determines its position. When we "paste in place", we simply paste and nothing else; on regular paste, we paste and then move the pasted stuff to the point under cursor. This also answers your other question on snapping: paste should snap exactly the same as if the original object, without any copy/paste, was just dragged by mouse to the current location in Selector.
