No, it's not a coreutils bug. Usually, it's either a case of true
concurrent modification (someone else really is modifying or replacing
the file while you are attempting to copy it), or a buggy file system
(one that doesn't report a stable inode); and coreutils is just pointing
out to you that your copy may be incomplete as a result of the
concurrent changes going on in your system.

Disclaimers like this are unenforceable on publicly-archived lists; you
may be wise to send mail from an account under your own control instead
of one that slams on your employer's useless legalese.
