Yes, probably, but this problem is new in VE: the first occurrence I've been able to find in frwiki is in August 1st. Nothing previously.
This now looks to be fixed; I pasted the contents of a couple of the diffs show above into the HTML clipboard, and then back out into VisualEditor (simulating a copy from Microsoft Office), and the unwanted cruft was all magically removed.
