This is happening in inkscape 0.47pre1 with Intel Tiger. Steps to reproduce:
Draw a circle
Copy the circle (ctl-c)
Paste.
Sometimes it will pull out a dialogue with PDF settings!
If I draw an object and add the pattern-along-path effect, then click on the Edit-on-canvas button, then exit the object, pasting works again as expected. BUT, I can never paste a path into the pattern-along-path effect. It always claims the 'clipboard is empty' and then copy/paste pastes only bitmaps.
