Do they? I've done HTTP redirects often enough (had to yesterday,
coincidentally) but don't recall ever having to do anything that would
break a source reference.

Maybe, but right now the leading browser doesn't deal with it, it's
not clear they even have any motivation to.

Seems to me like making a source-URI reference a SHOULD would help
solve an immediate problem, irrespective of the hypothetical problem
of copying.

Is a Pace needed? (Where is the time???)
