There is a slightly difference--there's no space following 2 in the string.
However, that is mostly besides the point. This appears to be what we call a
'parse error'. The frontend is getting the wrong operator precedence on paste
and setting up an invalid strucutre in the notebook. When you edit the string,
the frontend notices the error and rewrites the cell correctly, so it suddenly
works.
I'd be very interested in seeing the copy original source, whether it is a
notebook (just the cell would be fine) or some other document you copied from.
In any event, this is definitely a bug.
