Proposed resolution:

Change the Effects clause in 27.4.4.2, p15 from

-15- Effects:Assigns to the member objects of *this the corresponding member objects of rhs, except that...

to

-15- Effects:If (this == &rhs) does nothing. Otherwise assigns to the member objects of *this the corresponding member objects of rhs, except that...

The Effects clause of the member function copyfmt() in 27.4.4.2, p15 doesn't consider the case where the left-hand side argument is identical to the argument on the right-hand side, that is (this == &rhs). If the two arguments are identical there is no need to copy any of the data members or call any callbacks registered with register_callback(). Also, as Howard Hinnant points out in message c++std-lib-8149 it appears to be incorrect to allow the object to fire erase_event followed by copyfmt_event since the callback handling the latter event may inadvertently attempt to access memory freed by the former.
