Sorry, my bad. I've started the wrong Emacs instance. It works fine also
for me, all scenarios.

Technically, there might be no problem. But it is unclean to call a file
name handler in a function which is not intended for. And also the
parameter lists differ between copy-directory and copy-directory1.
It's just a feeling that this kind of hacks could cause trouble in the
future. However, if Chong/Stefan do not oppose, I'll shut up and make
the changes in Tramp and ange-ftp.el.
Best regards, Michael.
