indeed, you're right:

	harald > cp /etc/passwd foo/
	cp: cannot create regular file `foo/': Is a directory

	harald > strace -e open cp /etc/passwd foo/
	[...]
	open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY)           = 3
	open("foo/", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0644) = -1 EISDIR (Is a directory)
	cp: cannot create regular file `foo/': Is a directory

:-(
