It's neither a bug nor a feature. It's simply not possible to copy the
hidden flag (or system flag, for that matter), since there is no API for
doing so. copystat only copies Unix attributes.

If you were to copy the hidden flag, you would also have to copy the
read-only flag, the access control list, and possible alternative file
streams. You better use the CopyFile API function of Windows for that.
