Trouble with Paste as New component editing
Yes that is correct because the sketch is before the move so editing will be done before the move..
First you should avoid using Move and use a joint instead. Using a joint you could roll the timeline back before the first sketch, enable the visibility of the component origin and create a joint between the component origin and the position you want the new component.

@dgjsmith if you follow @HughesTooling's suggestion, you'll get exactly the behavior you'd expect. The sketch can be edited at the new location of the new component.
You didn't do what I said. You need to roll the timeline back before the sketch then add the joint, you might be able to drag the existing joint back along the timeline so it's before the sketch.

Just looked at your video and first thing I'd say is you should never use move and capture position as it will hit performance. When making assemblies you should use joints and avoid capture positions if at all possible. Seen lots of example of people using the capture position workflow but only seen one where it was the correct one.

Do you have Hide all inactive features activated so when you activate a component the timeline only shows the features in that component? If you do, activate the component, roll the timeline back before the first sketch in the component and add your joint. Now when you step forward the sketch will stay anchored by the joint.
Here you can see how it should end up, where the first feature in the component is a joint. Then the sketch is created at the new position.
If you need the sketch in it original position and then later you need it in a different position you can't do that in Fusion and you need to follow the advice from the others and just create another sketch after positioning the component.

You are NOT creating the joint before the item is created. "The item" is the component the sketch resides in, not the sketch itself.
If you roll the timeline back to before the sketch is created, the component only hosts an origin. You can crate a joint between that origin and any other object a joint origin can snap to. The roll teh timeline back forward. The sketch is then created in the location of the new component.
