Steps to reproduce:
1) Mark a part in Voice 1 with several hand-made beams
2) Change to Voice 2 and the beams are reset to automatic and not as they should.
This happens for instance if voices are to be combined like Soprano and Alto into Women. See Test.mscz, which is the result of copying "Alto" to "Women" and change to Voice 2, (And then copy "Soprano" to it, but that does not change.)
(Btw, sometimes also lines are forgotten this way, and what more?)

Works for me, changing alto to voice 2, copy/paste to Women, copy paste Sopran to Women, all beams are kept
This is actually what I do all the time, enter Soprano (in a Women staff), copy all, swap voice 1 and 2, paste, repitch Alto, copy/paste to Men, shift down an octave, repitch as needed and deal with the mostly very few, if any, rhythmic differences, all lyrics to Women
To me the fastest way to enter 4 voice closed score SATB, as getting the rhythm right is the most time consuming part, repitching is done pretty quickly.

If you only use automatic beam properties, then it works just fine. If you altered manually some beam properties, then those are set to automatic when voice changes are made.
It does not work, when changes were made manually, which were not done automatically.
Copy/paste does keep those changes
it is not the copy/paste-move but the voice-change-move that causes the hand-made special beams to be lost.
