Ross,
I simplified your code to apply to my app and got this to work:

var original:Object = AssetLibrary.getAsset(Constants.CHAIR);
var newChair:Mesh = Mesh(original.clone());
var newContainer:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
newContainer.addChild(newChair);

This was great, however, when I substitute the Mesh that has 3 other
meshes for original it no longer works:

chairSingleContainer = new Mesh();
chairSingleContainer.addChildren(chairCover.mesh, chairTie.mesh);

var original:Object = chairSingleContainer;
var newChair:Mesh = Mesh(original.clone());
var newContainer:ObjectContainer3D = new ObjectContainer3D();
newContainer.addChild(newChair);

The reason why the addChildren call has chairCover.mesh and
chairTie.mesh is because I've got another class that handles loading/
parsing of the assets and puts them in there and it's then accessed by
calling instance.mesh (which normally works, it displays fine on
screen).

So the conclusion here is that it seems you can only clone a single
Mesh not a container with other Meshes inside of it.  Is this true for
your experience as well?

Matt
