Yes, C-k and C-y work fine. In fact, 'duplicating' a group with T m
and then C-k'ing the original also removes the fanthom copy in the
destination topic. The problem did appear when the top-level Topic was
changed to be hidden (which I prefer).

Perhaps the fix is to remove T m and to suggest using C-k and C-y
instead? I'm not sure that this works with topics which are closed,
though.
