Yes, that's right. The intent is to mirror the most common convention for file copies on each platform. On Unix, `cp` sets the copied file's timestamp to the current time. On Windows, `copy` gives the copy the original file's timestamp. (These conventions are also reflected by the system APIs that racket uses.)
