Tested it on 511.1385 with the broken code and it worked there. 512.1462 also works

Coming back on my earlier tests. Seems like I used a wrong repo to test. The bug was found earlier. It's an odd one how this worked before but it's not due to Copy.

Unless this change happened after you updated your BYOND version, it's probably not due to a change in BYOND. The last update was a couple weeks ago. You should actually test with an earlier version if you think it's really a sudden change in the engine.
