I have JAWS 8.0.423 demo here on this Toshiba laptop running Windows XP Home SP2 with all critical updates, and I can duplicate the silent copy/paste scenario, but haven't found a workaround I'm afraid. Nor have I noticed any of the other problems you've experienced, but that's probably because I only have one copy of JAWS here. Hope that helps.
