Go to the Clipping preferences and reinstall the Clip-o-Tron. Retry your experiment. It should work at that point. When Mail changes, they bump a version number that the plug-ins have to reference for compatibility checking, and everything flunks. Omni updates the Clip-o-Tron to finess the check when you install the Clip-o-Tron again in the presence of a newer version of Mail so you don't actually have to obtain a new plug-in, but if you don't do it, you'll get the clipping behavior at the lowest common denominator provided by the Any Application clip-in (copy the selected text). If you rearrange your clipping plug-ins so that Mail is at the bottom of the list, you would see this same behavior.
