I have done this with Luminous by deep-flattening a clone in a different pool. It seemed to do what I wanted, but the RBD appeared to lose its sparseness in the process. Can anyone verify that and/or comment on whether Mimic's "rbd deep copy" does the same?

It will not copy any snapshots from the original image to the clone. With the Luminous release, you can use "rbd export --export-format 2 <image-spec> - | rbd import --export-format 2 - <image-spec>" to export / import an image (and all its snapshots) to a different pool. Additionally, with the Mimic release, you can run "rbd deep copy" to copy an image (and all its snapshots) to a different pool.
