Yes, this is the intended behavior, for now anyway: the green 
halo-handle creates a deep copy of the morph and its uniclass, rather 
than another instance of the existing uniclass.

You *can* however create sibling instances manually from the halo, 
you don't have to do it programmatically.  Use "make a sibling 
instance" from the halo menu of any scripted object.  Or if you want 
many sibling instances all at once, use "make multiple siblings..."

We've talked about changing things so that the green handle creates a 
sibling-instance instead, but there are complications about user 
expectations here, particularly when the copy is made before any 
behavior has been added.  In any case, the matter is still under 
discussion, and for now the green handle continues to make a deep 
copy, as you noticed.
