I am also a newby with jQ, so I won't be able to help you with the
'name' of the cloned element - I suspect it is the same as the
original.
Here is what I did to 'swap' divs - maybe it will help you (probably
superfluous for some people's liking - I am open for better code):
var clonedSource = $('#source1').clone(true); //clone the source
$('#source1').replaceWith($('#source2')); //replace the source1 in
position with the 'swapped' source
$('#source2Container').append(clonedSource); //append cloned source1
in the position of source2
That 'swapped' two elements for me.

In ak732's snippet the 'remove()' function returns the removed
element, so that is why you can append it. You could also have
written it as:
var removedElement = $('#source').remove();
$('#target').append(removedElement);
Hope that helps
