I don't know whether it's because keyframe-seeking gets disabled with codec copy or  if it's the fact that these input files are a little weird.  I found that if I get rid of the codec copy commands and try to do a skip of 60 seconds (long enough to make it obvious), I get:

Keyframe seeking can occur if you ask it (ie you put -ss before -i).
