I think that's only true in certain situations (such as marking a volume
recyclable).  There are ways that the original can be removed without
deleting the file indexes for its component savesets.

Rather than saying you "clone the indexes" I'd say you clone an index
saveset.  They're separate.  The indexes are on disk.  The index saveset
is just an old copy.

I think it should.  Both the original and clone of the index saveset
have the same SSID, so a load/merge should easily happen from either
copy.  I've never tried that though.  It shouldn't be too hard to test.
