[Bug/Strange behavior] Can't paste cover from clipboard to GIMP

Hi

For some time, I've noticed some unexpected behavior.

Reproduction:
- Open metadata window
- Right-click on cover, choose "Copy Cover"
- Go to GIMP, choose "Edit -> Paste As -> New Image"

GIMP will say "There is no image data in the clipboard to paste."

However, Windows Paint *will* paste the image, without doing anything else (no new copy needed).

On the other hand, if I do "Copy Image" in Firefox, GIMP *will* paste the image. At this time, Calibre is the only 'source' program I've tested from which GIMP won't paste data.

Windows 10, 64-bit, fully updated.
Calibre 2.77
GIMP 2.8.18
Firefox 51.0

I hope this is of some use to fixing this, as I don't know if it's a problem in Calibre, or in GIMP.
