Ive had this problem as well, it seems to be inherent in most copies.
One fix that does work needs 2 small alterations to genshp.c
Part 1.
=======
  /*
   * Copy notification strings over.
   */
  /*free_shop_strings(tshop);*/
  S_NOITEM1(tshop) = str_udup(S_NOITEM1(fshop));
  S_NOITEM2(tshop) = str_udup(S_NOITEM2(fshop));
  S_NOCASH1(tshop) = str_udup(S_NOCASH1(fshop));
  S_NOCASH2(tshop) = str_udup(S_NOCASH2(fshop));
  S_NOBUY(tshop) = str_udup(S_NOBUY(fshop));
  S_BUY(tshop) = str_udup(S_BUY(fshop));
  S_SELL(tshop) = str_udup(S_SELL(fshop));
}
with this one either comment out the line
free_shop_strings(tshop); as shown above, or delete it.
Part 2
======
  /*
   * The shop already exists, just update it.
   */
  if ((rshop = real_shop(S_NUM(nshp))) != NOWHERE) {
 free_shop_strings(&shop_index[rshop]);
    copy_shop(&shop_index[rshop], nshp);
add the line
free_shop_strings(&shop_index[rshop]);
as shown above
