yes indeed this is a bug. corrected in versions later, although it worked in a previous IOS version that was on my routers that supposedly contained this particular bug, so I question the accuracy of CCO in this regard.
The resolution: 1) set the config register to 0x2101 and reload so that the system comes up in boot mode ( config-register 0x2101 ) Router_3(boot)# the copy tftp flash command works as it should from this mode 2) after successful copy, change the config register back to 0x2102 and reload. 3) life is good. during the course of this I discovered a number of interesting things, that might become the topic of a homily, one of these days.
