I can confirm that 8101 has been fixed. Support likely hasn't gotten around to updating all the fixed issues from X2 which is probably why you didn't receive a notification about it. Below is the bug status from our internal database. [I blanked out some fields to protect your identity]

Summary: Cannot copy and paste automation for virtual instrument parameters.
Description:
Insert virtual instrument/synth.
Use edit filter to access the automatable parameters from the virtual instrument/synth.
Automate one of the instrument/synths parameters however you want.
Once you have automated the parameter, then try to copy and paste the automation you've created somewhere else in the song or project.
You should notice that the paste automation info is not assigned to any envelope and is "ghosted".
Expected Results: I expect an exact duplicate of the synth/instrument automation that was created and copied to be pasted and assigned to the correct envelope at whichever point I select in the project.
Actual Results: Synth automation is pasted but assigned to a "ghost" envelope and there is no way to reassign or correct the problem.
