I cannot see any circumstance under which a user would
deliberately set a style and paste text into it and *not* expect the text to
be changed to the selected style (while retaining character attributes like
bold and italics and whatever).
Simply the other way round.
I do an Enter, paragraph style is unchanged (e.g. Text Body) and I copy
paste some text with a different style that I want to be retained.
Changing the behavior for your case, would break it in this case.
So I would not change it.

Yeah, I hear that. That's why I suggested (on the other bug thread) allowing
users to configure which default paste behavior they want, and to add a "paste
special" option that would allow selecting each individual attribute to retain
and which to override. Designing for flexibility rather than having the
software second guess the user, or worse, impose some presumed use case on the
user, seems like a better option to me.
