It's basically pretending like it's 'really Linux', which it is in a lot of respects, but obviously not in terms of clipboard support. The only way I could (relatively) easily figure out how to add to the Windows clipboard was via PowerShell.

My memory is a bit hazy on that conversation, but this does seem like
a likely outcome. If this was the only blocker, I wonder if in the
intervening years a reliable non-kludgy detection mechanism has been
discovered.
