I also have the same problem as Bruce.  

/temp> ls -l tab-test
-rw-r--r--   1 544      everyone      105 Apr 24 10:13 tab-test
/temp> cp -p tab-test tab-test-new
cp: tab-test-new: Invalid argument

Sergey, did you have the problem where cp -p gave a Null timestamp (Dec 31,
1969) to the target file in Beta 17? 

(BTW, how did you manage to get real user ID's associated with the files
and not user 500?)
