Still trying to reproduce this, but serious enough to post this right now.
I'm not eactly sure what happened, but a couple of things seem to go wrong.
If a CS is copied, the subscribed users are copied from the original's subscription group to the copy's group. I think that's a bug; why should they be?
When the mail is sent to the subscription group, there is no test if what is sent is really a new thread or something that has been copy/pasted. Not sure if that's even possible, though.
