Publishing options seem to be copied correctly when using the "Save as a new node then edit" method, but are not copied correctly when using the "Pre-populate the node form fields" method. I'll try to track down the issue and post a patch if I can.

The node is getting passed to the form correctly, but when the form is rendered using
return drupal_get_form($node->type .'_node_form', $node);
(This is at the very end of the clone_node_prepopulate function), the options are being ignored and the default settings for the content type are being taken into account.

I've tracked it to the "node_object_prepare" function that is run on the form by core. It resets things to their default values for the content type. Trying to figure out the best plan of attack...

did you set the "Should the publishing options ( e.g. published, promoted, etc) be reset to the defaults?" setting?

I am using 6.x-1.3 and the problem still is there. When I clone a node with "Promoted to front page" option unchecked, the clone page has the option checked. No matter the "Should the publishing options..." being checked or not.

Just hit this problem, also using 6.x-1.3.

The "Should the publishing options ( e.g. published, promoted, etc) be reset to the defaults?" checkboxes are all unchecked.

Ok, I can reproduce this - the problem seems to occur in the call to node_object_prepare($node) in function node_form()

In Drupal 7 core handles this better, so it doesn't stomp on the original values

Here's a patch - not totally beautiful, but I don't see a better way
