It contains no data because Office does not know how to present the custom
clipboard format.

But it contains data. As I said the method IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_ENHMETAFILE) of the user32.dll library returns true. So Office knows how to present the format.
http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/w-p/clipboard/externallinks/article.php/c9155/ There's source code of the clipboard viewer that can view CF_ENHMETAFILE copied by Office. With no intricate movements.

It's possible. We don't know how - that's the question.
