I don't think the commands are failing, exactly - that ought to give
intelligible messages.  The remote machine is just hanging at the
point of running it.  When ssh-copy-id tells it to run "sh", it would
be useful to know what exactly that means on Raspbian - is it dash, or
bash, or what?  Might there be something screwy in its (global or
user-specific) startup configs?

Other options include setting DEBUG logging in the remote server
config, and editing the ssh-copy-id script to send some entirely
different command (such as "exec touch /tmp/Yes-I-Ran").
