 * Copying with current timestamp will generate a future post about 1 hour later.
 * I duplicated a post at 10:03 and the copied post had time 10:59.

 * Obviously they are. I discovered the issue was the theme using PHP function `
   date_timezone_default_set` that is not supported by WordPress, even if not mentioned
   in docs.
 * I wrote a post here about this documentation fault here: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38940](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38940)
