QGIS fails to copy all selected features to clipboard for large OSM datasets

Description

(I'm not in a position to confirm that this is a regression from previous versions, but it could well be)

On QGIS 3.4, copying to clipboard a large number of selected features in a large OSM dataset layer fails. Instead of copying all features, only a few features are actually inserted into the clipboard (for e.g., out of 2,500 selected features, between 1-10 features are copied). If you try to copy selected features twice in a row, the second time will lead to QGIS freezing.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new project, and add the following OSM dataset (use the points layer): http://imhere-asia.com/pp.zip
- Select a large number of points
- Hit the copy button on QGIS' main toolbar
- Paste the copied features (either as new scratch layer, or in MS Excel/LO Calc), notice it'll be missing most features
- Hit the copy button on QGIS' main toolbar again, notice how QGIS freezes (you'll need to kill it)

I have noticed that opening the table of attributes it only shows 99 rows, is this a consequence of this bug?

No, this is a different issue. A quick investigation shows that it is due to {{{

void QgsVectorLayerCache::setFullCache( bool fullCache ) {
mFullCache = fullCache;

if ( mFullCache )
{
// Add a little more than necessary...
setCacheSize( mLayer->featureCount() + 100 );
}}}

In the case of a OSM layer,mLayer->featureCount() returns -1 to indicate that the feature count is unknown, hence -1+100 = 99. I'm not familiar enough with this piece of code to fix that quickly
