I agree that from a purely technical point of view, there is some
inherent logic in that. From the user's point of view, this is, however,
not understandable.

You can ask yourself which information a user would expect to have: The
birthdate of the file or the date of some copying process. Secondly, you
can ask yourself whether you ever wondered about the COPYING DATE of a
file.

And, once again:

Cf. Wikipedia, s.v. "Software bug": "A software bug (or just "bug") is
an error, flaw, mistake, failure, fault or "undocumented feature" in a
computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended ... ." IMHO
this applies here: If you copy a file, you expect your file creation
date not to be destroyed. Current defaults prevents the software from
behaving as intended by the bug filer.
