That worked. Apparently the top-right corner is set, by default, to be a
middle-click. The bottom-right corner, I've since learned, is a right
click. None of this makes any sense to leave enabled since I have two
physical buttons below the trackpad.

Thanks for helping me debug this. Hopefully it'll be easier for people
to fix in the future. For reference, here's what I added to my
/etc/X11/xorg.conf to fix the issue permanently:

    Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"

        Option "RTCornerButton" "0"
        Option "RBCornerButton" "0"
    EndSection

Title:
  Synaptics touchpad pastes when clicked in the top-right corner

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I tap the Synaptics touchpad of my laptop, the contents of the
  clipboard are pasted. It's exactly as if I typed "Ctrl-V" in the
  current window. I see no way in the touchpad settings to disable this
  behavior, so it seems like a bug.

  Action taken: tap the touchpad in the top right of the touchpad
  Expected result: the mouse is clicked at the current location
  Erroneous result: the clipboard is pasted into the current application.
