It seems that Nautilus was completely unstable by the time the above effects were noted. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280713 for subsequent 'over-delete' misbehaviour. I believe that the inability to handle large NTFS directories (some memory over-flow problem) led to the unresponsiveness. Accordingly, I think it best to 'KILL' this bug report and leave the other one (280713) in effect. Part of the reason why I thought it was the copy and paste problem is because the Ubuntu clipboard function works so poorly (see Ubuntu Forum Idea on replacing it to get one that holds data properly)... But again that issue of losing contents before a Ctrl-V paste is best left documented in that Ubuntu Idea.
