Do:
C-h i g (elisp)translation keymaps RET
C-HOME C-SPACE DOWN M-w
C-x b foo RET C-y

What it looks like you copied is =E2=8C=9C(elisp)Top > Keymaps > Translat=
ion Keymaps=E2=8C=9D. But when you paste it, you instead get
=E2=8C=9CFile: elisp.info,  Node: Translation Keymaps,  Next: Key Binding=
 Commands,  Prev: Remapping Commands,  Up: Keymaps=E2=8C=9D

I suppose that's rational in some twisted sense, but it's unreasonable us=
er-unfriendliness for a text editor.
See my message =E2=8C=9CRe: Correspondence between web-pages and Info-pag=
es=E2=8C=9D in emacs-devel for why this matters.

I tried switching the buffer to fundamental mode in order to copy the tex=
t, but that didn't solve the problem, so Emacs apparently has some kind o=
f low-level text-mangling voodoo that hijacks kill-ring-save.

Yes, the Info page name is effectively like an HTML page title, and web b=
rowsers don't let you copy the title either, at least not without some sp=
ecial effort. But at least web browsers don't mislead you by letting you =
select the title text and perform an apparently-successful copy operation=
, which you only discover copied the wrong text when you try to paste it.

It's implemented by an overlay with a display property.  Normal Emacs
text copying commands work on the underlying text, rather than the
displayed one.  You can see the what overlays/properties are in effect
by doing C-u C-x =3D on the string in question.

Perhaps we could add some feature to be able to copy the displayed
string instead of the underlying text.

It's implemented by an overlay with a display property.  Normal Emacs
text copying commands work on the underlying text, rather than the
displayed one.  You can see the what overlays/properties are in effect
by doing C-u C-x =3D on the string in question.

Perhaps we could add some feature to be able to copy the displayed
string instead of the underlying text.

In fact, with text properties instead of overlays, the displayed string
is copied (cf. the variable yank-handled-properties), as can be seen by
copying the first line below the section title of the above Info node:

   When the =E2=80=98read-key-sequence=E2=80=99 function reads a key sequen=
ce (*note Key

"see " is a display text property, but appears when this text is yanked.

So the disparity between copying and yanking the two bits of text here
does seem user-unfriendly.

Well, what showed up here as "*note " did appear as "see " when I yanked
that text into the Message mode buffer...

Indeed, this would be useful, IMO.  The tricky part is to figure out
what is actually displayed, when there are several overlays at point.

Volunteers are welcome.

And that's the crux of the issue, AFAIU: the OP wanted to be able to
copy/paste the display string so that it would be visible even outside
of Emacs, e.g. when sent in an email message or written to a disk
file.  In that case, text properties and overlay properties/strings
behave the same: you lose them.

The fact that text properties are copied with the text, while overlay
strings and properties aren't is the intended behavior, Emacs does
that since the day overlays were introduced.
