Sarven,
I think you're bringing up a lot of good questions.

Which leads me to this imperfect idea when a user clicks to favorite a
notice item:

* automagically send a notice like "♻ @evan The quick brown fox" and
make it an in-reply-to the original

All this leads me to think about the act of sharing. If I click on
something like 'Share', I could redent and add it to my favorites
at the
same time.
I've just begun trying to think this through, but I did want to say
that I feel "spreading" and "liking" are distinct enough that I
wouldn't want to see them coupled into the same action. That is, I
wouldn't want to automatically "spread" something because I "liked"
it. Things I choose to spread via repeating the notice on my own
stream is, for instance, a much stronger vote up than favoriting it,
since I'll then be pushing that notice to followers whereas
favoriting a notice requires some active effort on my followers' part
to see that I've 'liked' it.
And, what if it gave the opportunity to edit before sharing
(which is a common practise)?
I do like that. I'll often find a share-worthy notice but I'll add a !
group or a #tag to it before I send it, so getting the chance to edit
before "sharing" seems necessary to me.
