Yes, checkValue is important on copy for copying the MM-related stuff 
(and also group-fields pointing to files), else you will only get the 
integer "count" in the destination record (the real copying is done by 
checkValue_group_select_processDBdata and checkValue_group_select_file). 
I think also flexform fields will suffer if they are not processed via 
checkValue on copy (checkValue_flex_procInData).

This is the ugly side-effect of mixing "value checking" with 
"processing" in on huge collection of functions, as Masi already noted.

Cheers,
