I disagree. Because <q> crosses barrier between content and presentation,  
copying of GC quotes is neccessary to preserve meaning of text, even when  
other formatting can be discarded. Probably the same thing can be said  
about GC counters.

It can be abused whether it can be copied or not. Often authors don't care  
if their content copies well, so it would not stop them from abusing GC.  
Some might even be encouraged by "copy-protection" it would provide.

Of course documents should make sense when CSS is not available, but I  
think it would be counter-productive to fobrid UAs from making best use of  
CSS when they can.
