Sorry for the noise, you're right, generic/373 is just being dumb.

I assumed it was mounting different exports for some reason.  But in
fact it's just doing a bind mount and then "cp --reflink=always" between
two mounts of the same filesystem.  Previously that got rejected out of
hand, now the client sends a CLONE and the server handles it.

Which is an improvement.  So it's only generic/373 that needs fixing.
