And please note that results of creation and deletion of windows are not always predictable from the user POV. E.g., when you type "C-x 2", do you always know which of the two windows will keep the ID of the original single window?
If the stack is copied, isn't that a non-issue? Both windows get the same history, and then their identities will be tired to the positions on the screen, that's how the user will recognize them.
And FWIW, in my personal config the stack isn't even copied. Somehow that works out fine, with one small (but potentially significant) caveat that in my config 'C-x 2' and 'C-x 3' always select the new window. Making it obvious which of the windows in new, and thus isn't expected to have existing history.
