regression: impossible to paste polygon into newly created shapefile

Affected QGIS version: master
Redmine category:vectors

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new project, and add the attached polygon shapefiles (provinces.shp and rcaf_regions.shp)
2. Turn rcaf_regions layer's edit mode on.
3. On the provinces layer, select the polygon with PROV_NAME equating 'Kampong Thom' (it's the middle one to the right of the inner empty space)
4. Copy the polygon
5. Try and paste the polygon onto the rcaf_region layer, it will reject with the following message bar: "no features could be successfully pasted"

This is highly problematic, and works perfectly fine under QGIS 2.2.

I should have added that most polygons can be pasted onto the rcaf_region layer, but the provinces polygon named 'Kampong Thom' fails.

The problem is that the feature is multipart but the destination layer is known as single part, so nothing can be paste.
I believe the problem is that shapefiles should always (?) be considered as multipart.

I am not sure where to handle this.

in QGisApp::editPaste: if layer is shape, force multi in conversion?

I confirm this also with lines / multilines.

Waiting for Denis PR be accepted and merged.

Thanks Denis!
