I'm looking at an unmodified FM 10 maker.ini, and it contains this: 

ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP, UNICODE TEXT, TEXT

Have you tried moving UNICODE TEXT into first place ahead of TEXT? E.g.: 

ClipboardFormatsPriorities= UNICODE TEXT, TEXT, FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP
