It turns out I think I'm not doing something wrong, but I fixed it anyway. ;-)
It appears the "clone" command doesn't match the documentation. For me, in LC 8 on a Mac, it seems that issuing a clone command for a card in another stack doesn't clone the card in its owner, but to the stack running the script. This isn't just a Navigator thing, I tested with two new stacks. "go"ing to the stack containing the card to be cloned before cloning it eliminates the issue. So, much the same as I do for relayering controls for drag and drop, I now store the current topstack, lock messages and the screen, go to the card to be cloned, and then return. There appear to be some anomalies associated with this: after it's done the topstack doesn't have the right decorations, and there were some other issues as well; but the main problem of the cloned card going into Navigator is, I think, fixed. You can update Navigator to get the fix: Get Navigator here <https://www.dropbox.com/s/kz3zqi4botzglgq/navigator.zip?dl=1>. Or grab it from GitHub <https://github.com/gcanyon/navigator>.
