Sorry, my previous post didn't make it clear that signed is what I was talking about following up on Joshua Smith's suggestion.
I had seen things like this suggesting it should work…

4902837 : In a signed applet default cut/copy/paste using cntrl-x/cntrl-c/cntrl-v broken

But thought maybe that had changed sometime since it didn't seem to work at all on OS X.
When it was posted that it should work and then I found that it did work on Windows I figured this must be a OS X bug and did the bug report.
