It does.

Iʼm not about to contradict the ICCCM, but `gui-get-selection' does
the following
;; Guess at the charset for types like text/html
;; -- it can be anything, and different
;; applications use different encodings.
((string-match-p "\\`text/" (symbol-name data-type))
(decode-coding-string
data (car (detect-coding-string data))))
;; Do nothing.
I took a closer look, and `yank-media' does the wrong thing, but
`(yank-media-types t)' and selecting "text/html" does the right
thing. The difference is that the former uses
`gui-backend-get-selection', and the latter uses `gui-get-selection',
and thus does the auto-detection.
