Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't. Has anyone else noticed this?

Check log of gui daemon when it doesn't. For example when you try to
copy from VM "work" and it doesn't work, check
/var/log/qubes/guid.work.log.

Len 0? VM returned no data for copy request. Are you sure you've copied
it there (i.e. Ctrl-C before Ctrl-Shift-C)?

This shouldn't break the operation.

Well, therein lies the problem. I wasn't copying it to the clipboard first (for some reason I thought Ctrl-Shift-C would do that for me).

Thanks.
