Hi Rainer,
on the target image, can you create a selection with the exact dimensions of the image that you want to paste. Then it will determine the position of the pasted image.
For doing it manually, after 'Select All' and 'Copy', select the target image, type Shift-E (Restore Selection), and move the selection to the desired location.
This also works when only part of the overlay image is selected, even with non-rectangular selections.
