Well, we could define the conventions so that it wasn't interpreted that 
way.

This is an interesting set of special cases. Do either of you want to try to
write a paragraph defining what you THINK the semantics should be?
I see two issues:
 * Name is global scope vs. sheet-local scope
 * Cell reference has no sheet name vs. has a sheet name
     (I don't think it matters for calculation whether or not the sheet name
      or cell reference is absolute or not, just like normal references it
      doesn't matter - esp. because names include their base.)

I with Eike that sheet-copying is out-of-scope strictly speaking, but that
it'd be a good idea to include some sort of note mentioning what is expected
to happen (since it would reduce user surprise).
