I think that declaration should be considered an entirely new placement on a new team's IR. At which point, certain benefits are given to the new team including 1 extra year and 1/2 salary back. I think upon receiving the benefit, the new team should also assume any burdens i.e. 4 week requirement.

I can't say I agreee with you at all on this one Jake... the player never LEFT IR... he just got traded while on it, and the receiving team left him there as well.
I think you're overthinking this or other situations, and making things much more complex than they need to be... it's a lateral move... thus all the penalties and benefits should be inherited IMO.
