Comment (by azaozz):

 Well, I had to include the full explanation in case other people reading
 this are now aware :)

 > My ticket should be read as an UX annoyance which we may be able to fix:
 make the behaviour consistent in WordPress instead of adhering the current
 status quo of inconsistency.

 Agreed. A "quick and dirty" fix would be to redirect the paste to a hidden
 div with contenteditable="true", then insert the innerHTML into the
 textarea. However considering how much "garbage" is inserted together with
 the tags, especially when using Chrome or copying from old MSWord, there
 should be a lot of cleanup.

 If somebody wants to take a crack at that, feel free to reopen this
 ticket.
