I can't reproduce this with a 2-day-version, which is after the recent
changes involving qualified names. I tried:

	$ g.mapsets mapset=glynn
	$ g.mapsets -p
	glynn 
	$ g.copy elevation.dem at PERMANENT,foo
	Copy raster <elevation.dem at PERMANENT> to current mapset as <foo>
	$ ls /opt/grass-data/spearfish57/glynn/cell_misc/foo/
	null  range

There may be other factors involved; can you create a minimal location
which demonstrates the issue?

Change to destination, g.copy, change to source, g.remove.

There isn't a faster way; you can't modify mapsets other than the
current one.
