    And then there's instructions to build a perfect copy of you.

That's a good point. I don't think that you can measure the position* of each state in any direct way so it would have to be reconstructed with a similar method we use to interpret MRI data (which is inferred and depends mainly on precise automatics).

*) EDIT: Measure the position while measuring all the other parameters taken into account for this scenario. Nothing stops you from just measuring the position on its own.

    Now. Which "you" is you?

The one with(out) a goatee.

I almost expect a safety protocol requiring you to be clean-shaven before using the teleporter. To minimise the amount of data, of course.

Wake me up from cryo sleep when shaving is called "bit scraping". :)

It's like two geeks got collided in the LHC, the two of you.
