OK, that worked.  What was the difference?  La voici :

For the initial bug report, I used `C-c C-c' from `report-emacs-bug',
and then I used `C-v' in the popped up MS Outlook mail message window.

For the followup, I selected the char with the region in Emacs and
then used `C-v' in the MS Outlook mail message window.  So it seems
like `report-emacs-bug' doesn't quite DTRT always.
