Yeah, I've also had these copy-and-paste problems with badly written
webpages. Rather than doing "copy plain text," have you tried "paste as..."
plain text in OpenOffice? That might solve your problem.

Also, are you doing highlight copy and middle button paste, or are you doing
 edit--->copy and edit--->paste?  I think there might be a difference--they
are held in different buffers.
