Span#deep_dup (span.rb:245) is def deep_dup; dup; end. The copy shares @data, @tags, and @span_recorder with the original, so writing to the copy mutates the original.
Scope#dup calls it on every push_scope and every capture_event, so a "copied" scope holding a plain child span shares the parent's recorder.
Making it a real deep copy changes allocation behaviour on a hot path. Happy to open a PR to fix this once maintainers weigh in
