Actually, the dictionary entry for copy says: "If a destination card, group, or stack is specified, the *copy* command<http://glossary/c/99.xml>places the ID <http://dictionary/property/2074.xml> property<http://glossary/p/391.xml>of the newly created object <http://glossary/o/329.xml> in the it<http://dictionary/keyword/1456.xml> variable <http://glossary/v/522.xml>, and the appropriate message<http://dictionary/keyword/1473.xml>is sent."
Not saying it actually happens, just that the dictionary claims it should. Looks like the workaround is have a newxxx handler to check for it.
