Okay.  The fix will need to explicitly copy the overlap metadata as part 
of copy-get, though... not the _ attr(s).  Those are managed locally in 
the pool and not meant to be copied across pools (you'll get all sorts of 
bugs if you try to do that!).

I see.  I think that would work.  It might make sense to take a fresh look 
at what the cache stats are, though, to see if it is possible to get rid 
of that condition and avoiding maintaining a 
duplicate-but-slightly-different structure just for the cache tier.  I 
don't like the conditional behavior there... it really seems like 
clone_overlap should not vary between the cache and base tiers, and any 
adjustments for missing clones should happen only with the stats 
calculation but not with clone_overlap itself.
