"The copy source node" is dereferenced into the filesystem, not into the dupmfile. (It may not even be in the dumpfile, if -r was used.) Therefore, it's relevant not whether a proplist section is present, but whether the corresponding node-rev in the filesystem the dump is being applied to has properties. Next, the answer should be the same for the copyfrom case as it is for the svn_fs_path_change_modify case. And it will depend, at least, on whether a proplist is present for the node in the dumpfile (no proplist => no change) and on whether a Prop-delta: header is present (whether the new proplist patches or replaces the preexisting proplist). That's my understanding, at least.
