On line 434 of treeline.py, I made the following change:

     def clipText(self):
         """Return text from the clipboard"""
         try:
#            text = unicode(QtGui.QApplication.clipboard().text('xml'))
             text = unicode(QtGui.QApplication.clipboard().text())
             if not text:
                 text = unicode(QtGui.QApplication.clipboard().text())
         except UnicodeError:
             text = ''
         return text

and it now seems to work.  I don't know python, and I don't know what  
the problem was.
