Extremely strange copy/paste behaviour in Office 2007

As the title states, extremely strange...

CrossOver 8.0.0
OpenSuSE 11.2
KDE 4.3.1

What do you need to replicate:

  1. Any non-empty pdf file.
  2. OpenOffice Calc.
  3. Microsoft Excel 2007 running under cxoffice.

TEST #1:

  1. Open the pdf with Okular.
  2. Select a rectangular area from it with the selection tool (less than 250x250 pixels).
  3. Copy image to clipboard.
  4. Paste in Excel.

RESULT: Normal functionality, as it should be.

TEST #2:

  1. Open the pdf with Okular.
  2. Select a rectangular area from it with the selection tool (more than 400x400 pixels).
  3. Copy image to clipboard.
  4. Paste in Excel.

RESULT: ERROR ("Microsoft Excel cannot paste the data").

TEST #3:

  1. Open the pdf with Okular.
  2. Select a rectangular area from it with the selection tool (more than 400x400 pixels).
  3. Copy image to clipboard.
  4. Paste in OpenOffice Calc.
  5. Copy the pasted image in OpenOffice Calc.
  6. Paste in Excel.

RESULT: Normal functionality, as it should be.

All of the above happens regardless of whether Klipper is running or not; in all cases the copied data shows correctly in Klipper if it's running.

QUESTION: What the hell? LoL :D

Seriously, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
