I customized "_getCopyOf" for a similar requirement.
But, I see, you do not have the "id" in the method.

It may not break the test suite but it will break my application
(which relies on the current semantics).

Moreover, the current behaviour is consistent with 
the "manage_afterClone" companion "manage_afterAdd" (which
is called, too, after copying and moving).


I would suggest:

  In "_getCopyOf", you put the necessary information
  about the original in the copy (as a volatile attribute).
  In your "manage_afterClone", you look for this attribute
  and take appropriate action.
