I have this oddball behavior going on with copy/paste. I am running 0.47 on a mac with OS X Leopard.
I have a path that I am trying to copy and do "paste in place". However, when I paste the path, what I am getting is an IMAGE, not a path, I can't edit it. It has a white background, which shouldn't be there, and it doesn't paste in place. It pastes off to the left of where it should be. I am wanting to paste it in place on a different layer, but even pasting it on the same layer creates an image, instead of a copy of the original path.
How I determined that it was an image was to go into the XML editor and watched what happened when I did the paste. Sure enough, the XML editor states that the copy is an image, not a path.
What is going on? Have I changed a setting somewhere by accident? Or is this a bug?
This is an issue with the pasteboard syncing feature between X11 and OS X - please read the FAQ for a workaround: "Copying and pasting in Inkscape creates pixellated images instead of copying the vector objects " http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Copying_and_pasting_in_Inkscape_creates_pixellated_images_instead_of_copying_the_vector_objects
