Thanks.
Unfortunately, just moving the nodes aren't an option for me.

I still think that being able to keep the event listeners when cloning
should be an option...
In my case (in a tree control), it will be hell to add it manually when
whole structures are
cloned and appended somewhere else...

Just found this as well about moving nodes etc.:
