I'm not sure if the behavior is actually wrong. Saving an event as a  
copy saves the event as a completely new event. If there are attendees  
on this new event, then they would get a meeting notice just as if you  
just created the event manually. The only part that doesn't sound  
right is the part about the notices saying the event was updated, as  
opposed to a new one.

It sounds like what you are trying to do is accept/add this event on  
your own calendar as if you were one of the original attendees, but  
without actually being one.

That being said, I could see adding an extra step when the event being  
copied still contains attendees - to verify that you really want to  
copy the event with the attendees or not.
