My contention is just that ending up in that state likely indicates a
pre-existing problem with the implementation, that we shouldn't feel
honour-bound to preserve -- but ofc the right response at this point may be
to bug it and move on rather than jeopardize what you're working on.

Yeah -- while I *can* imagine cases where copy/paste is optimal given other
constraints, I suspect this case is one in which the costs of that approach
are excessive.
