Definitely, a copy *has* implicit mergeinfo, whereas a local addition has none.

Think of it like this:

Do a URL-to-WC copy of Subersion's own trunk_at_988208 to some-branch-wc.

If we tried this...

  svn merge -c988175 ^/subversion/trunk_at_HEAD some-branch-wc

...we wouldn't expect r988175 to be merged to the working copy.
Because '/subversion/trunk:988175' is not contained in the copied
target's explicit/inherited mergeinfo, it is the target's implicit
mergeinfo that prevents this.

It doesn't appear that anything needs to be done,
svn_client__derive_location() handles the case where ABSPATH_OR_URL is
a copy, and returns the copy-from URL, not an error. So your change
in r988188 has no effect in this case.
