After doing a rebase -i to fix up some older commits, I noticed that notes I had associated with commits failed to follow the commit across the rebase, so the notes are now orphaned and will be pruned. Shouldn't notes be copied to the new commit during an ammend/rebase?

It depends. Which notes do you want copied? (i.e. from which notes ref?) Please have a look at the notes.rewriteRef config option (documented in the git-config and git-notes manual pages)
