I can certainly M-w on any region I like. A region is a region, regardless of the buffer state, afaiu.

I may be thick, but it does look like you're trying to make me look like a fool, when it is you who do not seem to properly understand the issue I'm talking about.

Do you actually have anything useful to add to the thread?
