That's true. The problem, though, is that it only replicates the direct
properties of the frame. All the properties that reference other settings
objects get ignored, so in practise it's either a risky procedure or
complicated, especially with text frames and properties like text frame
preferences.

Like you, I'm no fan of copy and paste for scripting, but until you can
convince someone to implement a suitable move command, it's probably the
easiest option here. On the plus side, on Macs at least it seems
surprisingly stable, and doesn't require InDesign to be frontmost.
