edit_paste pastes at incorrect location after scaling

No, you scale another image (image, not image1).

Otherwise you have to anchor the floating selections, somethng like this (instead of scaling whatever image, this code copy-pastes halves): 

Code:

strip_Y=100
strip_width = image1.get_width()/2
strip_height=40
       
image1.select_rectangle(Gimp.ChannelOps.REPLACE, 0, strip_Y, strip_width, strip_height)
image1_dr = image1.get_selected_drawables()
Gimp.edit_copy(image1_dr)

image1.select_rectangle(Gimp.ChannelOps.REPLACE, 0, strip_Y, strip_width, strip_height)
floating_selections=Gimp.edit_paste(image1_dr[0], True)
Gimp.floating_sel_anchor(floating_selections[0])

image1.select_rectangle(Gimp.ChannelOps.REPLACE, strip_width, strip_Y, strip_width, strip_height)
floating_selections=Gimp.edit_paste(image1_dr[0], True)
Gimp.floating_sel_anchor(floating_selections[0])
