The workaround is to strip the style info from "the clipboard"'s

The simplest technique for that is simply "the clipboard as string".
Sorry, no. "the clipboard as string" just passes the "as string" to the
clipboard addition, where it will do the exact same wrong thing it's
already doing. If you force AppleScript to do the coercion by saying
"(the clipboard) as string", it still won't strip the style info,
because you've already got a string. (The string class in AppleScript
holds style information, it just often doesn't have any.)
