I can replicate exactly the same error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Selection owner couldn't convert" UTF8_STRING)
  x-get-selection-internal(CLIPBOARD UTF8_STRING nil nil)
  #f(compiled-function (selection-symbol target-type &optional time-stamp terminal) ...)
  apply(#f(compiled-function (selection-symbol target-type &optional time-stamp terminal) ...)
  gui-backend-get-selection(CLIPBOARD UTF8_STRING)
  gui-get-selection(CLIPBOARD UTF8_STRING)
  gui--selection-value-internal(CLIPBOARD)

after copying an image in Gimp, then exiting Gimp, and trying to paste in Emacs.
