Thank you. When I set the field to Translate I can set them independently and it works as expected - however, the Copy setting does not work as expected regardless of the Local JSON bug.

To demonstrate, create a custom text field, set the translation preference to Copy, and attach it to a Post. When you edit a post in the non-original language, the field is read-only and a lock icon appears next to it with a message "This field value is copied from the default language and will be kept in sync across languages". This does not happen when you have a custom field set to Copy and attached to a taxonomy - there is no indication that the field is not editable in both languages.
