If you copy the actual shape, you can then paste that in a new effect. This is what you would do if you wanted to continue a blur for example.

I'm figuring you can only paste shapes with the same number of anchor points over each other or something like that. I just drew a polygon with 4 anchor points and I can paste the circle onto it so I guess that's enough proof unless someone has a better test. You can only paste shapes with the same number of anchor points. This would explain why I have had intermittent success doing this in the past.
