Errrr - sorry, but you are wrong. Duplicate works fine on session and application scopes in CF 4.5.1 and CF5. There _was_ a bug with Duplicate in CF 4.5.1, but it was fixed in a hot fix. As it stands, in CF5, session and application scopes are structures. I'm pretty sure they were in 4.5.1 as well.
