I can confirm that I have the same problem. The only difference is that I can use the middle mouse button to paste into thunderbird, but I cannot use paste using Ctrl-V or from the Edit menu. What I copy from Konqueror can be pasted into other applications.
I have tested this using
konqueror 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~hardy1~ppa1 together with 2.0.0.16+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 (both in Hardy)
and
konqueror 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu2 together with 2.0.0.17+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (in Intrepid)
I have not tested if this problem occurs with some other programs too.
