Publish by Default preference overridden when duplicating?

It seems that the admin preference to publish or not by default gets overridden when duplicating a page.

Am I missing something here?

I’ve added a bug report: http://modxcms.com/bugs/task/363 in hopes that this will get dealt with, but please enlighten me if I’ve missed a way to have this happen in the current version.

Thanks for logging the bug. I think your conclusion makes sense.
