Why these effects not copying?

What is my misunderstanding here please?

Is it impossible to copy a combination of Section and Size/Position effects?

It's the same in MEP 17, MX, 2013 and 2014. So presumably, even using that percentage option, the Section dialog is not intended to provide a 'proportional' section? So it would seem that it is indeed impossible to copy a combination of Section and Size/Position effects unless the source and destination objects are the same resolutions.
