You left out a number of changes which are arguably not somatic mutations such as the shortening of telomeres and epigenetic factors of a molecular biological nature such as DNA methylation which are known to be disturbed in many cloned animals and which can affect the gene expression patterns of the cloned individual.

OK, I'll give you telomere shortening as an arguable case of a primary sequence deletion and therefore classically genetic mutation, but the same doesn't work for methylation, or inheritable histone modifications.
