Fields are now merged as in Acrobat (I hope):
- fields with new names are unchanged
- fields with the same name and type are joined as another kid with the attributes of the first one
- fields with the same name and different types are deleted (the last one to arrive)
AcroFields has new methods to rename fields if needed.
All the PdfReader are kept in memory so, PdfCopy is still the best option if concatenating many PDFs and field merging is not needed.

How does this differ from the previous behavior of the existing
page copier?
Are you now doing field merging?
