No Copy/Paste in subpanel control if property TipStrip written

So, after hours trying to pinpoint an UI bug, I've narrowed it to this: I have a main VI inserting a subpanel and calling it like this

while the supbanel may decide to change the tip strip of one of its controls:

It's obviously pointless to rewrite the same property every 100ms, that was the unspotted mistake of my original UI. Skipping whether that was dumb or not, here is the weird fact: if the tip strip property is written, cut/copy/paste into any of the subpanel controls using Ctrl-C/X/V won't work, no form of them (all content, selection, at the insertion point). Only Shortcut Menu/Copy Data & Paste Data work, on the whole content of the control, and, in linux, 2nd-button mouse inserts regularly the X selection. If, say, text background color is written instead, copy/paste is ok; I didn't try extensively other properties.

 

Can this be called a bug or is it just a worthless idiosincracy? I've tested these snippets on linux, but observed the original bug which led me here on windows as well.
