"Also doing it in Win 7, as well as taking longer it also produces some 
strange behaviour" does seem to imply there is a corruption which you 
may be perpetuating

If you haven't already done so, it would be sensible to create a new 
database and to try copying that.

see the para on "Backups may not help" in 
https://sqlitetoolsforrootsmagic.com/corrupt-database-recovery/ and then 
for some suggestions on building a new database from your existing database
