I've checked in a fix that changes UTF8_STRING to STRING if the data 
doesn't look like UTF8.  However, this might give errors too.  The only 
way to be sure to copy raw binary data correctly is by adding a new type 
(like application-specific/octet-stream).   But if we do that, nobody 
will be able to get data from Emacs, as such a type is not standard and 
unsupported.  Copy-paste with raw binary data is just something most 
apps don't do.

Please try this, it is hopefully better.
