I get the following error when copying the vim source package in nixpkgs

cp -pr --reflink=auto -- /nix/store/dvh1x2m7gvp1iv5jjlvrf5ry5g3ay23k-source source
cp: error: '/nix/store/dvh1x2m7gvp1iv5jjlvrf5ry5g3ay23k-source/src/INSTALL' -> 'source/src/INSTALL': Too many open files (os error 24)

The smalled reproduced I came up with is cp -r --reflink=auto -- /nix/store/dvh1x2m7gvp1iv5jjlvrf5ry5g3ay23k-source source with this tarball dvh1x2m7gvp1iv5jjlvrf5ry5g3ay23k-source.zip.
