Ok, found it.
The names need an additional shift by the coordinates of the mark of the new 
element. This translates the code snippet to:

      for (i=0; i<MAX_ELEMENTNAMES; i++)
	{
	  pe->Name[i].X = e->Name[i].X - mx + pe->MarkX ;
	  pe->Name[i].Y = e->Name[i].Y - my + pe->MarkY ;
	  pe->Name[i].Direction = e->Name[i].Direction;
	  pe->Name[i].Scale = e->Name[i].Scale;
	}

The mark of footprints in the default lib are located at 0/0. So the bug 
does not show with them. By contrast, footprint made with the GUI typically 
have a large offset. (What determines its size?)

Should I produce a patch file?
