They shouldn't be copied.  Mostly because modversions has been almost useless
as tits on a bull since its inception.  I've maybe had -one- module work
correctly between two different kernels--once.  It often comes down to one
mismatched symbol, but they'll bail.

Trying to use one module across multiple kernel releases is a really bad
bet.  I wouldn't do it, personally.

I don't think that's a bug, I think it's intentional.  I would go so far as
to say it's good design -not- to even try.
