Copy-pasted from which application?

If it's an MSYS2 application, then I suspect the problem is MSYS2 apps
encode copied text in UTF-8 (since Cygwin does, AFAIK), whereas a
native MS-Windows build of Emacs expects a UTF-16 encoding.

Wrong how?  I don't see anything about exec-path in the image you
posted.
