Ilya, The problem is that this doesn't work with the "region-wide" storage model for S3. Right now it's impossible to copy templates when using S3 storage for the reasons I mentioned in my last response. It's also apparently impossible (without database editing) to make a template cross-zone when creating it from a snapshot or volume. Only allowing cross-zone templates when registering them from a URL is stupid.
