Since you couldn't reprodude it in a recent Darwin, maybe it's just a bug in an old Darwin.
It'd have to be pretty old. As near as I can see from xnu/bsd/kern/sys_pipe.c, the st_ino field was zero (i.e., not random) even in xnu-792 dated 2005.
I'd be leery of changing this part of coreutils/src/copy.c without knowing more about exactly why bug occurs on (older?) Darwin, as weakening the check would make GNU 'install' easier to attack.
