Because by construction the alpha of the "Floating selection" layer is the selection mask.... If you unlock the alpha, it is no longer the selection... Why don't you convert it to a plain layer (Ctrl-Shift-N)?

"Paste as a new layer" is a bit different, because the pasted item goes to the top left corner and not exactly above its source. So the combo Ctrl-V, Ctrl-Shift-N is usually better.
