All I can say is that I could not reproduce this on GNU/Linux and on MS-Windows. I created a text file named foo.arc, and then visited it in Emacs. Visiting it caused an error message from arc-mode.el (saying the buffer format is not recognizable), which is expected., and the buffer was left in unibyte state (also expected). But pasting worked as I expect in that buffer: printable characters were pasted into other applications, while non-printables were not. So I'm unsure how to proceed with this, as it seems Emacs works correctly for me.
