See discussion about a breakage caused by ReshapedArrays starting at #15449 (comment).

It's likely that this won't be the last of breakages by ReshapedArrays: overall they have been an effective tool for discovering places we should remove needless specification of Array or StridedArray (e.g., f6f616c). Unfortunately, unless someone is willing to start on a systematic audit, there's a strong likelihood that "usage in the wild" will turn up yet more places.

Ah. I made this one sound more complicated that necessary. copy is sufficient here because it returns a mutable array for the specific ReshapedArray. This will fail when copy(AbstractMatrix) is not mutable but it's probably not that often we'll see that.
