I'm not sure this is a bug.
The file is copied, but there is an error trying to preserve permissions.
Because eval-expression-debug-on-error is non-nil by default, the
debugger pops up.
Emacs's behaviour seems the same as using
cp -a org/work.org c1/work.org
on the command-line. "-a" is appropriate because C-h f copy-file says:
This function always sets the file modes of the output file to match
the input file.
