After replacing an electric pole with one of better quality, the copper line between them disappears.

Actually, this is a feature
If you make some really nice looking cables, you wouldn't want the game to be 'clever' and make new connections to other poles etc.

I recently also though this is a bug while playing the experimental version 0.17.12-3. If you consider it a feature, then it should not show the cables when hovering the upgraded pole over the existing one.

Second screenshot while hovering with the upgraded pole over the wooden pole, it shows the connection:

Third screenshot after placing it, the wire is not connected:

Personally, if I can see the connection right before building it, I would expect it to be there after the upgrade...
