The extra miles don't show up when you book Z fares either. (150% EQM/100% RDM.)
Pretty sure the website only shows the RDM you will earn as a general member and ignores status and EQM bonuses.

Yes, I think it's a bug. When I've booked flights through Continental that included COPA metal, the itinerary added up the miles as if the COPA legs did not exist. However, the miles have always been properly credited.
Note: In my experience, the COPA miles always take 1 to 2 weeks to credit. I would expect to see the Continental legs post in 1 to 3 days, and you will then wait for the COPA miles. They have always posted eventually. I do keep my boarding passes until I see the posting.
