I am not sure about this. For a very small test I just marked about then 
photos with different stars and some with a color border in two 
different subfolders of different folders and then copied them with one 
drag/drop to a new folder in the digikam album tree using dolphin.

All the stars and borders are there in the newly created subfolders (the 
copies). Quite intelligent :-)

While I did the copying in dolphin I had digikam running.

I have no idea if this works always and with any kind of meta data, but 
for sure it is worth some trials...
