I wonder if another application might be polling the clipboard or something?
By default, when you copy anything in OneNote (including text) it stores the
selection on the clipboard in several formats, including a bitmap
represenation. If some application is pulling out the bitmap (particularly
if you're using any remote desktop sessions at the time which will transfer
the clipboard contents over the network) it could be the issue.
Try closing all other applications that are open, and maybe killing a few
background processes, and see if you can't narrow it down to one.
