Some people would have at least considered a quick C-h f copy-tree
before filing a bug?

You're missing the VECP arg to emacs lisp copy-tree.

Without that, emacs lisp copy-tree is, much like common lisp copy-tree, documented to copy trees of _conses_. Conses do of course look pretty like 2 element vectors, but they are a separate datatype in emacs lisp.

ELISP> (let ((orig [[a b] [c d] [e f] [g h]])
      new-cp)
  (setq new-cp (copy-tree orig t))
  (string-equal (aref (prog1 orig
                        (aset new-cp 0 "bubba"))
                      0)
                "bubba"))
*** Eval error ***  Wrong type argument: stringp, [a b]
