You could almost consider it to be a bug. Seeing what it is in Gimp 2.9.7 and the same, so unlikely to get a change from the developers.
(Had to abandon my netbook and game of scrabble - almost beyond the call of duty)
The only (partial) solution I can think of
1. Make your selection and copy as before
2. Since you are using the same grid, pre-select the grid, an empty selection
then Edit -> Paste Into
