Work combination results in works showing as "zero copy" on list pages

If a work is combined with another work after having been added to a list (with the work number of the second work winning out), the work will be displayed on the list page as having zero copies.

Clicking on the work on the list page redirects correctly to the new work page.

However, most of the information shown on the list page seems to use the old work number and doesn't reflect the title or copies of the combined work. (Oddly, it does apparently show the number of reviews correctly.)

The work is also counted as having zero copies for the purposes of ranking on the list page.

Examples on this list: https://www.librarything.com/list/43001/all/Recommended-Nature-Writing
"The Extraordinary Lives of Insects" (currently ranked #78) and "100 Heartbeats" (currently ranked #128). Note that for the first work, a different English title ("Buzz, Sting, Bite") won out after combining, but the list page still shows the pre-combination title.

I did combination on both these titles after clicking through the list and discovering that the author page needed clean-up, so I know for a fact that the "zero-copy" happened as a direct result of my combining activity.
