There is nothing special in Copr about this. Copr (or mock to be precise) just pass --releasever to dnf/yum.

Looking at dnf code - and I assume yum will have similar code... There is in dnf/conf/parser.py the regular expression:
  _KEYCRE = re.compile(r"\$(\w+)")
which eat everything until first non word character.
If you want smarter substitution, then please file RFE against DNF. Or even better send patch. :)
