Then I could cut out four lines of the above code.
Well, a sub-tree is defined the headline and any text including other sub-trees under it. If org-copy-subtree didn't copy the headline it wouldn't be doing what the name says would it? :) You could always put the above code inside a defun called org-copy-subtree and load it after you have loaded org. Then it would overwrite the original org-copy-subtree and you could keep using commands like org-copy-special as usual. Caveat: If some part of org uses org-copy-subtree, that would start misbehaving. Of course you always have the option of putting it into my-org-copy-subtree and assigning a keybinding for it.
