Description
Ran into this issue while writing some tests for our library.
`copy_traits` seems to have an error when copying traits that are defined as `List(This)`.
Here's a minimal working example to demonstrate this behavior (using `clone_traits` for convenience but the bug is really in `copy_traits`):
```python
from traits.api import *
class Node(HasTraits):
children = List(This)
node = Node(children=[Node(), Node()])
assert len(node.children) == 2
assert len(node.clone_traits().children) == 0
assert len(node.clone_traits(copy='shallow').children) == 0
assert len(node.clone_traits(copy='deep').children) == 0
```
