Re: interactive write hook failure stops subsequent write hook?

You should use (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'copyright-update).

Are you sure you don't have some other version of copyright.el lying around
in your load-path?
copyright.el's copyright-update function ends with:

        (set (make-local-variable 'copyright-update) nil)))
    ;; If a write-file-hook returns non-nil, the file is presumed to be written.
    nil))

which should make sure it always returns nil specifically to avoid the
problem you mention.
