I am using methods pscp under Windows and scp under GNU/Linux. The time
stamp is not preserved in any of the cases. Unless I read the code in
tramp.el in a wrong way, time stamp is never preserved when copying
across machines. It looks to me as a bug.

Tramp actually gives a warning, I just did not see it since one have to
look in the message buffer. When i call
(copy-file "~/tmp/junk" "/larsh@galois.math.ku.dk:tmp/keep" t t)
(copy-file "~/tmp/junk" "/larsh@galois.math.ku.dk:tmp/new" t nil)
I get
tramp: Warning: cannot preserve file time stamp with inline copying
across machines
tramp: Writing tmp file using `pscp'...
tramp: Transferring file using `pscp'...done
