No, as I understand the proposal, the "public key" held by the wallet is si=
mply
a signing key used to authenticate addresses, and never leaves the wallet. =
Yes,
if the wallet's own memory is compromised, it can be tricked into accepting=
 bad
addresses, but this is much much harder than compromising data on the clipb=
oard,
which basically any application can do without any "real" exploits or speci=
al
permissions.

As an extreme, this proposal could be run on a hardware wallet which had so=
me
out-of-band way to obtain and authenticate public keys (similar to Signal QR
codes).
