No, every single battlecry except this one is something that comes into effect AS you play it, even if your mob is destroyed as it is played by something like snipe or whatever their effects will still always come into play.
This card however can not be shadowstepped for multiple clones, can not be sacrificed to do stuff with it.
It's just a incredibly poorly worded ability unless they suddenly want to change what battlecry means to just "stuff that happens on the first turn it's played" because that's not how the mechanic has worked so far and i see zero reason to suddenly change it.
This is just one step away from hearthstone being filled with ambiguous and shitty card texts where you're like "I'm not actually entirely sure how this works" just from the card text which is a really fucking shitty situation to be in.

Why are you so angry? The card text says exactly what will happen:
"Summon an exact copy of this minion at the end of the turn."
It's a new kind of mechanic, but it still fits into the category battlecry. A battlecry does something, when you play it from hand. The point is that the effect does not happen when it is put into play differently. Meaning: the effect happens only when played from hand and only in that turn. So it is neither poorly worded nor ambiguous. I think you are a bit overreacting here
