Jackflap : I agree with you that we should all work to make things "just working" and that this new standard is a bit frustrating, but all OS have their own specifications for everything. The freedesktop specifications already had some modifications in the past and all apps fixed quickly to comply. These standards modifications does not happen often but apps must follow these specifications in order to work correctly. The standard must exist in the sense that if it would not exist, no apps would be able to use clipboard at all. If we expect clipboard to exist in Linux, there must be a respected standard like in any other OS. I think that it's pretty faster to fix this little problem in all apps than integrating a special clipboard manager but I might be wrong.
