SheepShaver does not need to be launched after copying. This sequence also works:

Copy text in OSX -> launch AW in OS9 -> paste in AW

Or maybe CW/AW has its own private clipboard and are data shared between that private clipboard and the general MacOS clipboard when the general clipboard is used for either copying or pasting and when CW/AW is launched? That would work fine as long as copying and pasting would only be between applications inside MacOS, but between applications in the OSX host and CW/AW in the MacOS guest it would work only after pasting in a different application in MacOS and it would work without that only once when CW/AW is launched after text was copied in OSX. Exactly the behavior I see.
