You can add an [PortalType|Document|Metatype]_afterClone script.
This script will be called on pasted objects.

This is a limitation of the business template implementation currently.
But this is how I use it for now personnaly.

Did you configure the interaction workflow on the container level?
I think manage_after{Add,Copy} is called on container, isn't it ?
After that, I don't know if it will not have any side effect.
