From the OS X cp command man page:
-R If source_file designates a directory, cp copies the
directory and
the entire subtree connected at that point. This option
also
causes symbolic links to be copied, rather than
indirected through,
and for cp to create special files rather than copying
them as nor-
mal files. Created directories have the same mode as the
corre-
sponding source directory, unmodified by the process' umask.
Note that cp copies hard linked files as separate files.
If you
need to preserve hard links, consider using tar(1), cpio
(1), or
pax(1) instead.
So, yeah, behaving as designed.
