Comment:

 This is not a regression, it's been around since we started using TinyMCE
 (WordPress 2.0) and yes, it is a feature in IE. In other browsers it
 depends on what you copy: if you copy "link location" it pastes it as text
 but if you copy linked text (that can be the actual URL) it pastes it as a
 link.

 Both of the above patches would fix this in IE but at the same time would
 convert to text some links too. They also need to test whether the href ==
 linked text. Perhaps doing this in PHP is better as we know what URLs to
 look for and only convert for them.

 There is an easy workaround: after the URL is converted, click on it and
 click on "Remove Link" button. Since this is not critical bug or
 regression, moving to 3.3.
