Sorry for the pause (I was pretty busy last week):

Yes, this is much closer than what one would like. And having those
"done states" together could be useful.
However, I have to say that though that after trying to adapt to these
settings I cannot bend my mind to find the behavior comfortable,
specially comparing to how normal tasks work.
For me it is confusing that when I do "t" on such a task it goes to
"DONE" as I would expect (i.e., like a normal TODO task) but when I
refresh the agenda it disappears (unlike normal DONE tasks, at least
with my settings --I use archiving to make done tasks disappear and
"v" to toggle viewing archived tasks). Actually, I think it goes to
DONE only for the first repeat, for the following repeats it stays as
TODO, at least with my settings.
I guess I can use org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done to get the
non-repeating tasks to disappear also when marked as done (so that
there is more orthogonality) but, again, it will only work if I
remember to use "SCHEDULED" for them, and, also, I do not want them to
disappear yet! ;-)
Also, I feel I have to remember too many things for, say, a simple
weekly meeting: a) putting SCHEDULED, b) setting the properties, c)
making sure org-log-into-drawer is set, etc. Ideally any simple TODO
entry with a repeating timestamp should behave well when marked as
done, right?

Yes, I guess this is a problem (although in my case all repeating
entries --which are regular meetings, classes, birthdays, etc.-- are
typically one liners so it would not make a difference if they were
copied...).
Sorry to insist, but I still think copying the tasks would produce a
more orthogonal behavior. Perhaps it could be made optional?
