This might explain a lot:
Samsung Confirms Plans To Move Away From Android Platform This Year
Tizen Is The Fulcrum Samsung Can Use To Protect Themselves Against Google
If Samsung's got its developers busy working on Tizen and Tizen-based product, I imagine they'd have less time to spend getting fixes done for things like root vulnerabilities and broken clipboard support in their current Android-based product.
I have to wonder if Samsung is Missing The Point to ecosystems like Android? With Android I can have, say, a Samsung tablet and a Motorola handset, and share applications and data between them nearly seamlessly. Or perhaps, for them, that is the point? Perhaps Samsung wants something they can so-heavily customize, so-thoroughly make "their own," that, with their devices, you'd have to go all Samsung to achieve the same? Kind of like iStuff?
I know I'm not interested in that. Not in the least. I wonder how many others will be?
