I don't see this. Just a simple copy and paste only contains the text,
no HTML.

Ah, wait, with gvim and using drag & drop instead of copy & paste I can
see it. I'm not sure why this happens, must have something to do with
how GTK deals with the drop. In gui_gtk_set_dnd_targets() it does check
the HTML flag in 'clipboard'... Ah, this should fix it:

n_targets--;
else
targets[j++] = dnd_targets[i];
