I have to mention that it is not as simple as just turning symlinks into copies. As an example, I recently copied my entire home folder onto an external drive. With the behaviour suggested in this bug, I would have had duplicate files. I think that if the symlink and the file it points to are beig copied, then it is fine to just replicate the link, but if only the link is copied, the link should be replaced with the file it links to.
