Unless there is a selection, then it pastes at the center of the selection. Therefore when you do Ctrl+X Ctrl+V, you have it at the same place, that's what I was talking about. This is not the case with Paste as New Layer.

'Paste in place' should be a useful addition, although it is still possible to achieve the same result by saving selection to channel and restoring it before pasting. You can even copy the channel to another image to paste at the original location there, although this is quite cumbersome for a simple copy paste, so the new command is justified.
