Why only subdirs and not files with origin?
This is a partial fix and I think Miklos has rejected a similar fix by Chandan
and said that this should be fixed by a future fsck.overlay (hint hint).
The inconsistency is that the directory contains origin (and merge subdir)
and is not marked "impure". That is what fsck.overlay needs to fix and then
"Recalc d_ino for for all entries if dir is impure (contains copied up entries)"
will do the right thing.
