 Replying to [comment:24 duck_]:
 > This could be overcome with a temporary 3.2 version of copy_dir (named
 _copy_dir for example) in update-core.php which would only be included for
 3.2. However, there are a number of drawbacks. This 'fix' would only work
 for updates to 3.2, still the same problem (which would occur anyway) for
 3.1 -> 3.3

 I strongly suggest we do exactly this. Use a temporary solution so people
 who update to 3.2 can benefit from this now, and rip it out in 3.3-dev. If
 you go from 3.1 to 3.3, you won't get this until you're using 3.3, which
 is fine by me -- the alternative is the same position. There's no cost in
 this cost-benefit analysis.
