I'm "Save as > .jpg" - and then choosing the existing image location. I do get a prompt - "do you wish to overwrite" to which I say "Yes" ---- but still, "copy" is added to the file name and a new file is created, keeping the old file in tact. Annoying that I have to manually update the name, trash the old image, etc!

I called photoshop support and they said it was a known bug, and would be fixed in the next update.
I hope that's true....

This affects my work a lot. If I overlook this, the wrong image is appearing on all the tablets of my salesreps. Their software is looking for image A001.jpg not A001copy.jpg

Trying to save over an existing jpg image.
xyz.jpg already exists, do you want to replace it?
Usually I simply say "replace" and it overrides the previous jpg. Now it is letting me believe that all is good, HOWEVER it is creating a new file called xyzcopy.jpg

When I save out a jpg file on top of an existing jpg to overwrite, Photoshop makes a new file with a " copy" in the end of the filename instead of owerwrite the original. Its extremely frustrating and it it is a huge part of the Photoshop to Indesign daily workflow for most graphics artists.
Photshop even gives me the popup saying that the file already exists and asks me if I want to replace it. I click "Replace" or "Overwrite" or whatever it is in english, and it creates a copy instead. And my linked jpg file in my Indesign layout of course isn't updated automatically and I have to find the file, delete the original and the rename the new copy so it has the same name as the original. This is a pretty huge game breaker in my daily workflow.
