I've never done this, but... Looking at your code I would say that the problem is that mo_duplicate is a MObject, which doesn't distinguish between the original and new instances. When you get an MDagPath for it, it uses the original instance by default. I guess you would need to use MDagPath.getAllPathsTo and figure out which is the new instance.
However, I think the closest equivalent of cmds.parent would be MFnDagNode.addChild(keepExistingParents=True), and it looks like that would more easily distinguish between the original and new instances. That might be an easier way to go.
