Code error or redundant code?

In the following code

http://www.openehr.org/svn/knowledge_tools_dotnet/TRUNK/ArchetypeEditor/BusinessLogic/openEHR/History/RmEvent.vb

there exists the following

Public Overrides Function Copy() As RmStructure
Dim ae As New RmEvent(Me.NodeId)
ae.cOccurrences = Me.cOccurrences
ae.mType = mType
ae.sNodeId = Me.sNodeId
ae.mRunTimeConstraint = Me.mRunTimeConstraint
ae.iOffset = Me.iOffset
ae.sOffset = Me.sOffset
ae.iWidth = Me.iWidth
ae.sWidth = Me.sWidth
ae.mEventType = Me.EventType
ae.boolSignNeg = Me.boolSignNeg
ae.boolFixedDuration = Me.boolFixedDuration
ae.boolFixedOffset = ae.boolFixedOffset
Return ae
End Function

is the following line an error?, why set it to itself?

ae.boolFixedOffset = ae.boolFixedOffset

It's clearly a bug, isn't it? As far as I can see nothing calls that
method. Normally I would delete unused code, but in this case I imagine
it might be useful for implementing copy and paste in Archetype Editor,
so rather than delete it I've fixed the bug.

Thanks for noticing it.
