I posted after having purged my system of the offending ???? and was
writing from memory.
I believe there were two source directories
/home/richard/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2
problem-2018-02-13
and
/root/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2 problem-2018-02-13
or
/home/root/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2
problem-2018-02-13
The crud filled result was a "THING/glob/???" at:
/media/richard/MISC backups/dev_sda14/home/richard/.local/share
/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2 problem-2018-02-13

Agreed ;/
There had been a mess of house keeping done.
What I was trying to document was that
cp -ax / /media/richard/MISC-backups/dev_sda14/root
should be have been expected to run to _intended result_.
In reality, there was a *PERVERSE* permutation of initial conditions.
Now can you understand why *I* am fascinated with "corner cases" ;/
