Again, there would be no way to know at copying time whether the case would be preserved or not. I appreciate that this is not the case for you when you are copying text from a website you designed yourself, or when you are frequently copying text from the same site, but it's hardly the common case.

What a user would be able to learn from experience in normal scenario is that text copying works erratically, and the computer cannot be trusted.

This is not something to argue about. If you want to study the inner workings of pasteboard, empirical testing will likely be confusing. You can read Apple's documentation about pasteboard flavors, and/or use an application like Pasteboad Peeker or Pasteboard Inspector to see what is actually inside a pasteboard.

FWIW, I cannot replicate your results with OS X 10.8.2 and my own test case, but I don't think that this is important in the context of this bug.
