Firsttly, you must remove LOD from the modelresource and not the model.
Second you must remove the LOD both on the source model before cloning and
on the cloned model afterwards.(actually you may get away with ignoring the
lod on the source model).

this is the code i've used

on REMOVE_LOD_SETTINGS
 pMRcount    = gWorld.modelresource.count

 repeat with k = 1 to pMRcount
   if gWorld.modelresource[k].type     = #fromfile then
     gWorld.modelresource[k].lod.auto  = FALSE
     gWorld.modelresource[k].lod.level = 100
   end if
 end repeat
end
