Unfortunately, I don't think this is a recurrence of the regression in that old report. Briefly, there is a different protocol [1] for transferring clipboard contents too large to fit in a single X protocol message (approximately 262144 bytes), which is not currently implemented by the X11/Windows clipboard synchronization code. Your estimate of 1000 lines seems a little low, but in my testing this is the limit I hit.
