This is where your misunderstanding lies. In the passage we are discussing the mention of the word `copy' is non-normative. You are taking it to mean that a C++ copy must be performed.
Ah... now I see what you are saying. Yeah I have to concede the point (for built-in types), but for user-defined types you must admit that copy refers to a literal copy (if only because it all happens in one function which returns by value). I just took the use of the copying to mean that it would be the same for the builtins.

The scrabbling around for evidence came across a little harsh.
