I'm sorry but AFAIK there's nothing sending cookies to my browser from this installation. More than that, if I manually cut then paste the same object with the Cut and Paste buttons in the management interface it works perfectly, and in this situation the cookie data should be exactly the same, correct me if I'm wrong.
Make sure that you are *not* passing the REQUEST to manage_cutObjects in your custom method. If you pass the REQUEST, manage_cutObjects will assume that it is being called from a Web form and it will return html rather than the copy_data token. It looks like that is what is happening - when you call manage_pasteObjects you are probably passing it html rather than the copy data, which is why it is failing to unencode it.
