Would you please report this as a bug, to the Chromium developers?
That is, if:

  (x-get-selection-internal 'CLIPBOARD 'text/html)

returns a string of the same type.

The ICCCM clearly states that:

  STRING as a type or a target specifies the ISO Latin-1 character set
  plus the control characters TAB (octal 11) and NEWLINE (octal 12.)
  The spacing interpretation of TAB is context dependent.  Other ASCII
  control characters are explicitly not included in STRING at the
  present time.
