Oh, how very annoying. I don't feel, myself, that copy editors should mess with dialogue at all. I had some characters use the locution "you better [do or not do x]," and the copy editor added "had" into every one of them and I HAD to take them all out. The most a copy editor should do with the actual structure of the dialogue is to query it. Mmph.
