Well, by default the Administrators usergroup doesn't have any entries in the forumaccess table - as they should have rights to everything already.
This hack is solve problems for when you have a lot of private forums and usergroups. If you create a new usergroup (without this hack), it doesn't have any custom permissions and you have to spend hours going though each private forum, and blocking access to the new usergroup. This clone hack becomes usefull when you clone a usergroup which is restricted to many forums, or has custom permissions as it saves a lot of time.
So in a nutshell, if you clone the admins group it won't do anything (much).
