Note, you can still paste with the icon on the far right, the clipboard icon.

Y ou are right, you can paste with the clipboard icon, thanks Aaron!
My question: is why does Android have the paste button then? Seems silly to have far right clipboard Paste icon
AND
the "Paste" button !

I think that the issue may be that users are confused because they're are two types of paste menus: top-bar and contextual (my names). It's also not always predictable which one will be used. For example, when I replicate roland's twitter -> URL steps, I get the regular contextual paste, not the top bar. However, when I try to paste in a reply to a tweet in Twitter it uses the top-bar (probably because it selects text where it shouldn't). See attached.
For the record, Chrome has similar behaviour, but seems to even have a third paste styling (a small paste hover above the cursor) in some circumstances (attached).
So in summary, feel free to mark this as "will not fix" if you feel that the different paste behaviours are correct, however it does seem to be confusing some users.
Thanks

The "Paste" popup is finicky in the URLBar. Because you had a selection already, we show the ActionBar. If you would have cleared the URLBar selection and then long-pressed, you would have seen the "Paste" popup.
Rob's picture of Firefox paste options is show two different situations too. The "Paste" popup only ever shows up for Native Android Textboxes, iirc. The <textarea> is in web content, and uses the ActionBar.
I will take the WONTFIX option here.
