If you want to change formats, aste and then apply the new format
seems the way to go.

I'm using the basic LaTeX article style in LyX 2.2.3 on 64 bit Win

If I copy (Ctrl+c) text from a bulleted list, and paste it
(Ctrl+v) into, say, a data listing, footnote, etc, the bullet is
inserted into the construct (data listing, bullet, etc.).
Is this a "feature" or a "flaw"?

While I agree in general that structure (in this case, bullet item)
might be something you'd want to carry along, in this particular case
I'm pretty sure it's a bug. As Bernt says, if you copy a bullet item and
paste it into a listing, it shows up in the LyX GUI as a bullet item --
but if you preview as a PDF, it compiles without the bullet, and the
LaTeX source code shows no indication of a bullet (or item tag). So
there's a mismatch between what you see and what you get.
In the particular case of bullet items, I'm not sure there's any virtue
to carrying the item context with you in a copy/paste. Either you're
pasting into an itemize environment (in which case it automatically
becomes an item) or you're not (in which case you most likely do not
want it to be an item).
Bernt: Would you care to file a bug ticket for this?
