System Information
Windows 7 x64 GTX580

Blender Version
Broken: cfc109e

Short description of error
When Clicking the Copy to Selected Strips, it affects all the strips inside the metastrip... Which means that everything gets doubled up, which then effects if you are copying grades between multiple strips the grade gets exaggerated significantly.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached blend file
notice how the meta strip has no modifiers and that the strips inside the metastrip have masks
copy the modifiers from the text strip onto the metastrip
notice how all the strips inside the metastrip have had their modifiers replaced by the colour

Expected behaviour:
The metastrip inherits the modifiers but the strips inside the metastrip stay how they were.

Can confirm that behavior, and can see that it may not be desired in most cases… Not sure we'd consider this a bug though, technically when a metastrip is selected all its content is also selected I think. Maybe we should add a 'recursive' option to that operator. @Psy-Fi, what do you think?

I would say 99% of cases you wouldn't want the modifier strips doubling up on each other.. Adding a recursive option would be ideal to suit all purposes
