I can see arguments for and against cloning user tags; the main issue programatically is that at the time bgus are cloned, the only way to figure out what tags affect a cloned bug is to search through all of the usertags, and duplicate those usertags which apply to the cloned bug. That's possible to do, but not trivial.
