I am using Quartz 2.1.6 and Inkscape .47 and having this problem as well.
I have tried every combination of the "Update PASTEBOARD..." options in X11 without any success. If I have text opened up in Word, copy it, and then paste it in Inkscape, it makes a bitmap copy. In .46 this was avoidable...if you just hit ctrl-v with nothing selected, it made a bitmap copy. If you hit ctrl-v AFTER going into the text-edit mode of a textbox, then it would copy the text as text.

I'm going back to .46 for now.
