I'm seeing the error with today's HEAD, libc6 2.3.2-2 (debian package),
doing
(copy-file (expand-file-name "~/.emacs")
(expand-file-name "~/new") nil 'keep-time)
The file ~/new has date 1970-01-01 after this.
libc6 on fencepost is 2.2.5-11.5, so this might indeed be the reason.
Simon, could you tell us which version of the C library you've been
using?
