seems a good alternative

 my main objection on this alternative is that is not ready but a project to be realized in a future and that will require some developer offering his time to realize it,maybe subtracting that time to more relevant task.
while the script is ready and was already tested by many

Not sure if that will be a advantage the addition of new option there may be easy overlooked while a menu command as "copy visible and add as new layer" is so clear that i believe can't be misunderstood

Avoid to overcrowd the menu is good but i see this as a basic feature that many may search ,if so may be better clearly labeled in the place where most likely will be searched
as in the Edit menu,after "copy" and "copy the visible"

( Nevertheless a extra option for merge layer.should not harm .but again will be a work to be done by someone in a future ,while the script-fu  is ready)

PS
About add border i never noticed a 3d effect or others that are not present also in the alternate version.but i will check better
