I don't know about Publicon, but copying from Mathematica 6 to 
Mathematica 5 works for me if I convert the graphics to PostScript first 
(Cell->Convert To->PostScript).  You may try copying directly or
Copy As->Metafile.  The results may be a bit different.

But not that PostScript graphics do not support some features, e.g. Opacity.
