Using veryDeepCopy instead of deepCopy would avoid cloning classes (as the name does not help to guess).
Well, this would deserve some guru advice, I don't much like all these copy messages... But veryDeepCopy seems much better than deepCopy. The later is not immune to infinite loops in case of circular references...

I forgot this, Stan:
You gathered enough material to open a bug report at http://bugs.squeak.org
You should check about deepCopy/Preferences already reported issue, then create a login an fill a bug form.
