Is there a way to determine what really is being held in klipper's clipboard?

You should be able to click on the icon in the status area and it should show you the list.
You can also try:  qdbus org.kde.klipper /klipper getClipboardHistoryMenu

If you're a frequent user of the clipboard, checkout CopyQ - which is a Qt 5 based clipboard
manager with advanced functionality.  It's also in the Fedora repo.
