Well, a sub-tree is defined the headline and any text including other
sub-trees under it.  If org-copy-subtree didn't copy the headline it
wouldn't be doing what the name says would it?  :)

You could always put the above code inside a defun called
org-copy-subtree and load it after you have loaded org.  Then it would
overwrite the original org-copy-subtree and you could keep using
commands like org-copy-special as usual.

Caveat: If some part of org uses org-copy-subtree, that would start
misbehaving.

Of course you always have the option of putting it into
my-org-copy-subtree and assigning a keybinding for it.

Hope this helps,
