Regardless of the outcome for "cp", it seems like turning off this restriction on the system you're doing this on would be the best short-term solution. It sounds like you're not using a Debian orUbuntu system which carries defaults in /etc/sysctl.d/ files.
---- That where the user's mods can go. There are 6 other locations w/5 of those being directories to check. Found the culprit in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-defaults (comment inside was 'distribution defaults'). So opensuse went with the other lemmings... and made it a default.

systemd likes to put defaults into /lib/sysctl.d, if that helps you track it down. I think systemd recognizes /etc/sysctl.d for overriding settings in /lib/sysctl.d, so you might be able to set it there instead.
