This breaks e.g. password-store when pasting in a graphical application (though wl-paste does find the clipboard contents)

Hm, seems weird. For now I guess password-store could set a text MIME type explicitly? Sounds like a good idea either way in case a password happens to match some ASCII format.

This works. E.g -t 'text/plain'
