This does seem to be a bug (not new to 2.3, though), under the
assumption that since copy uses the same protocols as pickle,
anything picklable ought to be deepcopyable.  I'm not sure this is
a reasonable assumption.

A glance through the bug reports at SourceForge suggests this is a
new observation; would you like to open a bug report?
