If you want all the contained SOs to become SOs as if created via »New Smart Object via Copy« I would recommend Image > Duplicate, then duplicating the copy’s Group to the original image.

    @c.pfaffenbichler  – Can I presume that this is a typo and that it should be: Layer > Duplicate ?

     

    My bad. I was looking at a way to script this, which I just completed for dupe layer... back to the drawing board! :]

    No, I meant Image > Duplicate; that way the SOs copied back to the original image will exist independent from the original SOs.
