Is this a bug in the 10.2+ DM, or is it a feature:

Control characters go away when cut/copied and pasted.

For example:
1. Create a small file of sample lines using the dm: 
     -stuff-
     end page 1
     begin page 2
     -stuff-
2. Change the "begin" to @fbegin with the dm editor s command.
   You now get a 'page break'/formfeed in your pad.
3. Cut and paste the whole document.
   You have now lost the pagebreak.
4. [the really weird part].  Exit and reenter dm editor.
   The page break is back.
   
Any thoughts anyone?  Is this a known bug or an
undocumented feature or what?
