Actually that copying is done by
rmail-insert-mime-resent-message
(rmail-insert-mime-resent-message-function is set to it when
rmailmm.el is loaded), and that function was changed by RMS
as this.

        * mail/sendmail.el (mail-bury): If Rmail is in use, return
          nicely
        to Rmail even if not started by a special Rmail command.

        * mail/rmailmm.el (rmail-insert-mime-forwarded-message):
        Copy the buffer currently showing just one message.

I don't know what it was going to fix.
