As you said torque settings are always for clean and dry, however if you apply grease then the dry torque figure you will have over torqued the studs.Torque settings are for dry, and will probably be too low for lubricated. If I use grease, it will not be on the threads but on the small dish on a steel wheel where the nut sits. If this is rusty it can make the nut impossible to remove without massive force.
Interesting thread when you get a range of views. For what it is worth, I don't believe copper grease is actually a lubricant for the technical amongst us? May be wrong.

So weasel pi$$ would be better then?
No idea never heard of it’s use being bannedCopper slip is banned, or using it on wheel nuts?
Only if you let it beBlimey. What a complicated job it is.
sandI read somewhere it contains sand. The idea being that it is non-metallic and so the particles will hold two pieces of metal away from each other (just enough of a gnats whisker) to stop them bonding together if corrosion sets in.
This being the case, I guess a tiny spot of it between the side of a nut and the wheel probably won't do no harm. Wouldn't put it on the threads though?
sand
its what it says on the label
copper and a medium to hold it
