Thanks for the analysis.  Given that Alan says GNUStep cannot handle
non-text clipboard items, I cannot propose anything myself.  It would be
nice if a Mac user can write a report and send it to the Emacs
developers.  Perhaps Juergen can do it?

There was a bug report about yank-media failing in Mac yesterday or
thereabouts so I think the clipboard situation in Mac has a lot to
improve.  Hopefully with Org's yank-media support the situation will
improve.
