10 days after offering the Gnome foundation $ to help with this issue I finally got this:

=======
Posting of your message titled "Supporting GTK+ / GnuCash Copy/Paste for OSX"

has been rejected by the list moderator.  The moderator gave the following reason for rejecting your request:

"Foundation-list is not for gnucash issues/support."
=======

:-/

So I built Gnucash via MacPorts and am now happily copying and pasting.

Thanks everyone!
