Same is happening for me today, yesterday it was okay. Copying (Ctrl+C) an inserter with any configuration of rotation reverts it to a vanilla north-facing inserter upon pasting. Exception: if the original inserters target was south, it gets replaces with a vanilla south-facing inserter.
This also applies to Blueprints and the pipette Q. Basically meaning that every inserter has to be adjusted after it is placed.
Shift+RMB and Shift+LMB to copy settings is not affected.
