I am unable to cut and paste between a Fedora 19 host and a Fedora 19
guest.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a known problem that I have not
been able to find?
It's hard to say with the level of details you have here.
If you're using the spice protocol and you have the guest agent (spice-vdagent) installed inside the VM then you'll be able to cut and paste in graphical consoles.

Oops, I apologize. I am using virt-install as follows to create the
virtual machines and I am connecting to the virtual machines from a
different physical machine using virt-manager or virt-viewer via SSH. I
thought this combination was sharing the clipboard when everything was
on Fedora 18, but since upgrading to Fedora 19 the clipboard does not
seem to be shared.

      virt-install \
        --autostart \
        --channel
unix,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/guest.agent,mode=bind,target_type=virtio,name=org.qemu.guest_agent.0 \
        --connect qemu:///system \
        --disk vol=Guests/$domain \
        --extra-args "inst.ks=file:/$(basename $kickstart)" \
        --graphics spice \
        --initrd-inject $kickstart \
        --location http://192.168.$subnet.10/repos/fedora$releasever/iso
