Overlayfs cannot create a whiteout on the upper fs. Do you have CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT2=y in your kernel's .config? If not, then you should. You'll also need a4859d75944a ("ovl: fix dentry leak for default_permissions") from the overlayfs-linus branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mszeredi/vfs.git otherwise "default_permissions" will misbehave.
