I also tried using a copy with a delegate_to and that's not working
either (the src couldn't be found). Here's a playbook and the output
from the run:
]$ cat test3.yml
---
- hosts: all
remote_user: sg
sudo: true
tasks:
- name: create remote file
file: path=/tmp/XYZ123 state=touch
delegate_to: '{{ delegate_host }}'
- name: testing delegate copy
copy: src=/tmp/XYZ123 dest=/tmp/ABC456
delegate_to: '{{ delegate_host }}'
]$ ansible-playbook test3.yml -l app1 -e 'delegate_host=10.0.1.86' -vvv

I should also note that running this will hang too at the end, but a
single <enter> brings it back to the prompt. Maybe that's connected to
the ssh-inside-ssh problem I'm having as well with STDIN waiting on a
carriage-return somewhere but STDIN not being tied to my terminal...
