A small example for reproduction (on a system with IMA appraisal):

# mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=/etc,upperdir="${OVERLAYFS_TEST_DIR}

Thank you for providing the example. Also on a linux-4.18.0-rcX test
kernel, the file hash isn't being written out either. The builtin
"appraise_tcb" policy (eg. specified as "ima_policy=appraise_tcb" on
the boot command) has a tmpfs dont_appraise rule.
Putting the mount point into /tmp may have been a bad example, however
at least on my system /tmp is mounted from a btrfs subvolume. Same with
/var, which I'm using for my personal tests.
