When I try to paste the § character in the book it appears to be ignored. Is there something special to consider?

Can confirm when pasting §, then typing 'k', then adding text and selecting it.

You are not supposed to be able to add the § symbol and styling yet at all, so that's the bug. It will be prevented in the upcoming snapshot until we implement proper component-based styling.
