Comment (by marshall):

 It doesn't appear to me that this is a bug. The compiler-generated
 assignment operator does the right thing.

 The only reason (that I can tell) for the user-defined copy constructor is
 to call a particular base-class constructor.

 I've never used Coverity on C++ code, but when I used it on C code (3
 years ago), it had a very high false positive rate.
