No, it did not happen in emacs -Q and I am using GNU Emacs 24.5.1
(i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570 (binary download).

It *is* related to my customizations[1] and a snippet I got from

With your help in this thread, I fixed my charset issue. However, I
was not able to search&replace within the yanked text or within the

Org-mode syntax.
