Adding a new table has no relevance to this issue (nothing is being pasted). 
Moving an existing table, I would very much expect it to be retained exactly. 
This is a bit like cutting and pasting some text and having your word processor
go over it with a spellchecker without being asked.

I don't really consider this an edge case.  I frequently copy tables and other
elements within an article and between articles in a step and repeat.  I have
often witnessed other users doing such things, it is not just me.  Think about
all those television episode articles for instance.
