A workaround is to use some intermediate text file, which I have open in say Emacs and TextEdit, but obviously that's not a great solution.
This doesn't really solve the problem, but it is possible to avoid
using intermediate files by using the pbpaste and pbcopy command line
tools and Emacs's build-in command line functions. For example, if
you type M-| pbcopy, it will move the selected text in emacs to the
Mac OS X clipboard. C-u 1 M-! pbpaste will paste.
