Undo refers to the last action on whatever document is active, not to 
anything else. "Copy" is not seen as an "action on the clipboard" but 
as an "action on the document" (and thus not in need of an undo since 
it didn't change your document). "Cut" is seen as an action on the 
document, so undo will go back to the state the document was in before 
the cut.

I agree what you describe is sometimes very irritating.. but I would 
hate it even more if an "undo" action for a "Cut" would restore the 
state of the clipboard and not the state of the document...
