I just tested this under OS9.

Engine 2.5.1 and 2.6

drag-copy a button - works for password-protected stack
clone a button - works for password-protected stack
clone a stack - works for password-protected stack
set the script of btn - error that stack is protected

Engine 2.6.1

drag-copy a button - still works for password-protected stack
clone a button - error msg that stack is password protected
clone a stack - error msg that stack is password protected
set the script of btn - error that stack is protected

So there is definitely change in behavior of the clone command. I do 
not see anything related in Bugzilla or mentioned in Whats New.

What I found worrisome is that when I create a new stack, password 
protect it, close it (close box or msg box command), then open it 
again, it is NOT password protected. If I quit MC to flush memory and 
relaunch, the password protection becomes active. Fortunately, this 
is likely an issue at development time only.
