The encoding can be wrong.

The copy operation can insert strange markers (wrap indicators, for example;
it seems that it the case here).

The paste operation can re-wrap or re-indent the lines (which has no
consequence on XML validity, but can harm the result if some elements are
space-sensitive like the HTML <pre> element).

I am sure there are others possible problems.
