Seems to be working when I try it manually:
===
  $ ln -s nosuch dangle
  $ ./src/stat --format=%y dangle
  2016-01-18 15:12:19.978310000 -0500
  $ ./src/cp -Pp dangle foo
  $ ./src/stat --format=%y dangle foo

   $ rm -f a b
   $ touch a ; sleep 1 ; ./src/cp -Pp a b
   $ stat --format=%y a b

   $ strace ./src/touch -d '2013-12-11 10:09:08.777777' d
   ...
   utimensat(0, NULL, [{1386774548, 777777000}, {1386774548, 777777000}], 0) = 0
   ...
   $ stat --format=%y d
   2013-12-11 10:09:08.777777000 -0500

So I added 'strace' to the "cp" execution inside the test, and also when used 
manually, they seem similar (both attached).

I can check more things if you have suggestions.
