Copy (M-W)/Yank (C-Y) causes the error:

     Quit: "pasteboard doesn't contain valid data"

since the integration (revno: 100824 [merge]) of 2010-07-15. 

Note that the nightly of 2010-07-14 works, and that kill (C-K).../Yank
works as well.

      1) $ ./nextstep/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q
      2) Select default text in '*scratch*' buffer.
      3) M-W (Copy)
      4) C-Y (Yank)

N.B. quite likely the same bug as or closely related to #6677

Possibly two aspects of the same underlying issue. BTW, i think it is
related to the interaction of (from the 100824 commit):

	+*** `x-select-enable-clipboard' now defaults to t.


and, under ns-emacs:

(describe-variable 'x-select-enable-clipboard)
x-select-enable-clipboard is a variable defined in `C source code'.
It is void as a variable.
