I didn't check, but it probably would, because cp(1) must have opened
and created the destination in order to call copy_file_range(2).

PS: I'll note that EXDEV is not a documented return value from
copy_file_range(2), and my surprise that cp(1) did not revert
to the fall-back, no matter why copy_file_range(2) failed.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
