(Get the code!)
Thanks to ~suv, I now better understand how Inkscape works.
However, I think this bug still stands, although it should be renamed (can I do that? can somebody else do that?).
I think it should read:
Copy/Paste to the same document should behave as Duplicate
Indeed, not all aplications have a Duplicate function, and a lot of people are better used to simply Copy/Paste. Duplicate is mostly perceived, I think, as a shortcut rather than a different functionality. So for the sake of simplicity (and according to the principle of the least surprise), their behaviors should be unified.
It is definitely related to bug #437926, but I think it deserves an entry of itself, as it is not limited to gradients (at least, it also applies to filters).
May I finally suggest to move the importance of this bug to Low. In my (not so humble ;) opinion, this is a GUI problem, not merely a wish of mine.
