Why?  Because the precompiled TAL bytecode is sitting there in a
_v_program attribute that's not stored in the ZODB, so it's not reverted
when you undo things.

How to fix?  Make the "Copy to present" button drop all _v_* attributes
from the object it modifies.

This is OFS.History.Historical.manage_historyCopy, right?  Quick
untested patch:
