Bug description

wl-clipboard (observed at least on wl-clipboard versions: 2.0.0-1 & 2.2.1) causing crash. This behavior is also relevant to pyclip python package (but only in scope of wayland Cinnamon session).

Steps to reproduce

wl-copy 12

Expected behavior

12 could be stored & returned after executing wl-paste without Cinnamon crash

Additional information

This issue was observed initially while using copy-paste from Linux Mint Cinnamon to android apps running in waydroid.
Everytime (right after Cinnamon crash) dmesg output contains one line similar to:
[ 685.410206] traps: cinnamon[4519] trap divide error ip:7e588afad3d8 sp:7ffe927e5ab0 error:0 in libmuffin.so.0.0.0[7e588aeeb000+fb00https://github.com/linuxmint/wayland/issues/710]

Alternatively, this issue could be observed right after copying some text (via context menu -> copy) to Linux Mint clipboard and pasting it with python3.10 -m pyclip paste.

python3.10 -m pyclip executes successfully in scope of x11 Cinnamon session.

The issue is not device specific: I reproduced it on Lenovo & HP laptops.
