Indeed.

After you copy into the clipboard from another application, can you
look with some clipboard viewing program and tell what formats are in
the clipboard?  Emacs understands only a small fraction of the
possible formats, so perhaps that system was configured to not use
those formats (e.g., for security reasons).
