Comment (by warner):

 So it looks like the intention of #712 was to make a command like {{{cp -r
 A LOCAL}}} or {{{cp -r A LOCAL/}}} create {{{LOCAL/A}}}. This depends upon
 "A" including a file or directory name (eg {{{cp -r DIRCAP/foo.txt
 LOCAL/}}}). But if A is a pure cap, then it has no human-meaningful name.
 What should get created in this case?

 I think the #2329 bug is resulting from a code path that assumes it will
 be provided with a name, and the pure-cap source argument doesn't give it
 one.
