As a user, I would never expect undo to go modifying the contents of other windows in a document based app. Take TextEdit for example. The behavior you suggest is completely inappropriate for TextEdit.

Indeed, I see that in TextEdit if I drag text from Doc 1 to Doc 2, the + cursor in the green circle appears, whether I hold down the 'option' key or not.

It's like Quincey said ... drag and drop between documents should be always be a 'copy', not a 'move' operation.

Stated another way, if I don't let the user do it (move), then I don't have to write code to allow them to undo it. Nice solution :)

Thank you.
