JoeySucks: An answer to your question has been up for a while. Since there don't seem to be any follow-ups or corrections that need to be made, I marked it as the "Accepted answer" so this topic can move out of the list of unanswered questions. In the future you can take care of this yourself using the "Mark as Answer" button on the response that you feel is the most helpful answer to your question.
I try to avoid marking my own responses when I do this, but in this case it was the only option.

The reason it works that way is because the rules actually establish a system of timing permissions rather than restrictions. The rules say things like "you can do [N] at such and such time", not things like "you can't do [N] except for at such and such time". The special instruction given to you in the effect of The Seventh Doctor and other cards that tell you to cast a spell during the resolution of another effect don't conflict with any restrictions in the rules.
There is one true timing "restriction" that I can think of. There's a rule that specifically says you can't play lands on someone else's turn, but that's all I'm aware of.

Caphir: This isn't a bug. Based on the established system of layers for determining an object's characteristics and copiable values, Arena is handling the interaction correctly.

Yesterday: No, Resolute Rejection and Patriar's Humiliation operate in the ability adding/removing layer. They don't change copiable values. Body Double-ing a Corrupted Shapeshifter who's been hit by one of those things will get you a normal Corrupted Shapeshifter with all its abilities. And if you were to reanimate that Shapeshifter, you would still choose P/T as it enters because the copiable values layer is the very first one, so the effect would be applied before the ability gets taken away in the ability adding/removing layer.
For the layer system, first you start with what's printed on the physical object, then apply other continuous effects in this specific order:
-
Rules and effects that modify copiable values
-
Control-changing effects
-
Text-changing effects (e.g. Magical Hack and friends)
-
Type-changing effects (including supertypes and subtypes)
-
Color-changing effects
-
Ability-adding/removing effects (including keyword counters and "can't have [ability]" effects)
-
P/T-changing effects
Layers 1 and 7 also have some sub-layers where certain more specific types of effects are applied in a particular order within those layers but those details aren't important here.
The key thing to understand is that a copy effect only brings over the actual printed characteristics of the original plus anything that is applying to the original in Layer 1. No other effects applying to the original will get copied.

You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link. It's the best way to help make sure everyone understands what's going on: Case of the Gateway Express, Taii Wakeen, Perfect Shot
You get two cards. Each of your creatures is a separate source of damage in this example, so Taii will affect each of them individually and will trigger for each of them since they're both dealing the right amount of damage.

Yesterday: Besides perpetual cloning, the only other options I can come up with for effects that would perpetually change an object's copiable characteristics are becoming perpetually face-down, perpetually merged (via Mutate), perpetually transformed, or a P/T perpetually set by an "as this enters" or "as this is turned face up" effect.

You have the right idea, there's no interaction here. All Channel abilities are activated abilities, which you can tell because they're written in the format "[cost] : [effect]". Delve only applies to paying the costs for casting a spell.

Since there don't seem to be any more corrections or follow-ups on this, I have changed the "Accepted answer" to the more accurate one so it will be clear to anyone else in the future who happens to have a question like this and finds this in their search results.

#1You can use double square brackets around a card's name to create a reference link: Mirage Mirror. It's the best way to help make sure everyone understands what's going on in the question
Mirage Mirror is already on the battlefield, and using its ability to turn it into something else doesn't make it enter the battlefield again. "Comes into play" is an older style format for saying "enters the battlefield". Using Mirage Mirror's ability won't cause any "enters the battlefield"/"comes into play" abilities to trigger.
