If there are undocumented gotchas, you're sending bug reports, right?
If you think they are going to a black hole, send them directly to me

As for this exact problem, the clipboard support in DUIM for anything
except for basic string types is pretty thin.  Did you do anything to make
objects of <your-class> recognized by the Win32 clipboard?
