I don't know if it's related, but there was previously an issue where 
pasting content including images from a web page sometimes froze 
LibreOffice while it downloaded the images. If the images were large, or 
you're on a slow connection, it could take a while and appear completely 
unresponsive. That was discussed on bug 60415 
<https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60415>, and seemed 
to be fixed in 4.3.0.4. Always possible that it's regressed though.

If the pasted images are linked to the original content (so that they 
automatically update), it might also connect back to the original web 
site when copying that content from one document to another. Perhaps 
check Edit > Links on the source document and try breaking any links 
listed there before copying (unless, of course, you want the images to 
remain linked so that they automatically update in your document when 
they change online).

If this is the problem, and you want to avoid the delays when pasting 
content from a web page, you can use Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted 
Text to get the text, then individually copy any images you want and use 
Edit > Paste Special > Bitmap (or anything other than one of the HTML or 
Unformatted Text options). The text and images won't be formatted as 
they were on the original web page, but that's not always a bad thing as 
you'll be starting from a relatively clean state to format as you like.
