There is no "spec", but it's more or less expected behavior.

May I ask why you are trying to use `copy-face' instead of `defface'?
As the docstring of `copy-face' indicates, it is mostly intended for
internal usage, and you are likely to screw up the face's customization
data if you call it directly.  If you give more details about the
use-case, that would be good.
