As it says in the commit, this is on purpose.

This functionality will not be available until a proposal on how to safely and properly handle this is created and greenlit (as stated in the commit).
The issue is that we don't have any way to tell if a scene is exactly the same as the one we are pasting. so if someone copy pastes a lot of scene, it will quickly bloat the file with duplicate scene data including meshes, textures, simulation data etc.

What is the timeline on this? This is effectively breaking several add-ons of mine, which through workarounds made the scene strips useable in spite of their current poor performance.

I'm surprised that working features are just removed like that, and just marked as a Known Issue, instead of just making the flaws of the feature until a solution has been found.

For this specific issue? Now.

For some reason I completely misunderstood the report and thought this was about the pasted strip. Even if the video makes it clear that the source strip also gets nulled out.

For the pasted strip I will create TODO task.

Thanks for reporting this as the issue was really bad, sorry for the misunderstanding.
