The permissions being preserved are those of the copied file. Any files that
get copied over don't matter.
Did you try not preserving permissions in order to preserve them :-) It looks
like it works:
~/linux/html 1053: touch a b
~/linux/html 1054: chmod 321 a
~/linux/html 1055: ls -l a b
--wx-w---x 1 jdike jdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 a
-rw-rw-rw- 1 jdike jdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 b
~/linux/html 1056: cp b a
~/linux/html 1057: ls -l a b
--wx-w---x 1 jdike jdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 a
-rw-rw-rw- 1 jdike jdike 0 Aug 31 14:34 b
