Comment:

 The issue you're seeing is not related to there being multiple formats (if
 this were the case any copy/paste from Firefox would fail).

 The only issue here is that we don't know how to deal with an <img .../>
 tag, so that is ignored.  It isn't obvious what we would really do with a
 pasted <img> - most protocols don't support sending an inline image.

 Since we have found something in the HTML clipboard, we don't bother
 trying to look in the text clipboard (whether or not we can fully render
 the contents can't reasonably used to choose whether to fall back to the
 text clipboard).
