Interestingly, when using terminal vim, it returns some kind of utf
representation of the original buffer for the clipboard. E.g. I put
U+FF41 in the clipboard, call system('true') and :display + returns
\uff41
This patch fixes it for me:

In the gui, it seems, I get always garbage, since the for some reason I
think nothing is stored into the clipboard and therefore Vim tries to
restore the info from the CUT_BUFFER0, which can only hold latin1
encoded data and it breaks here. I tried uncommenting
clip_mch_lose_selection() in gui_gtk_x11.c and this seems to work, but I
am not really sure (could be, that this relies on some clipboard manager
to work) this is right.

Christian
