I'm not going to trim my original message so the thread is easier to follow from this point on, specially if someone google for help.

Bram Moolenaar skribis:
A time ago I posted a message about a problem I was having with the clipboard and Vim 7.2. After updating to 7.3 I checked to see if the problem had vanished. I'm using console-only Vim 7.3-3, self compiled, under Ubuntu Linux 10.04 with X Window System.

Here is how I reproduce it:
- I selected and copied the text "David Gómez" from a GMail message shown in Google Chrome. The problem only happens with that combination, Google Chrome and Vim.
- From a terminal:
  $ xclip -selection primary -o | od -Ax -tx1
000000 44 61 76 69 64 20 47 c3 b3 6d 65 7a
00000c
  $ xclip -selection clipboard -o | od -Ax -tx1
000000 44 61 76 69 64 20 47 c3 b3 6d 65 7a
00000c

As you can see, both the primary and the clipboard selections have the same text, the UTF-8 representation of "David Gómez".

Now, I paste the text into an empty "vim -u NONE", using "+po<ESC>"*p and the screen shows this:
David Gómez
David Gómez
~
~
...

As you can see the first text is pasted incorrectly, the second, correctly. Here is the output of ":registers"

--- Registers ---
"*   David Gómez
"+   David Gómez

Again, it is shown that the "+" register is coded incorrectly.

Perhaps Chrome puts HTML in the selection?

Running Google Chrome 6.0.437.1 (Official Build 49781)
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.2 (2008 Aug 9, compiled Aug 22 2010 15:00:27)
Included patches: 1-442

Chrome does put HTML in the selection. But, not in the one that's broken.

I found this Chromium bug-report related to a clipboard problem:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=34813

The actual problem doesn't look relevant, but there's a useful clipboard/selection examining tool in one of the comments:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=34813#c9
Downloaded: gtk_clipboard_dump.cc
Compiled: g++ $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0) -o 
~/bin/gtk_clipboard_dump ~/Download/gtk_clipboard_dump.cc

Copying the David Gómez sample text in Chrome, and running gtk_clipboard_dump yields:
