This has nothing to do with getattr(). You currently can deep-copy
functions, but neither bound nor unbound methods:
>>> import copy
>>> def check(obj):
... try:
... copy.deepcopy(obj)
... except:
... return "FAILED"
... return "OK"
...
>>> def function(*args): pass
...
>>> class A:
... method = function
...
>>> check(function), check(A.method), check(A().method)
('OK', 'FAILED', 'FAILED')
Whether this a bug or a sensible limitation I don't know.
