Yes. That's because I did a check before the copy to see if there are
local modifications in the working copy. If there are none, then an
URL->URL copy is done.
I have removed that now so that no matter if there are local
modifications or not you get a WC->URL copy.

I think the term "WC at URL" is clear. It tells you that the copy is
done from the _WC_ (which happens to point to that URL, but that's just
an information which people requested to see there).

See above.
As a workaround, change one file, e.g. add a newline at the end. Then
the WC->URL copy is done.
