Yeah, I kind of intentionally was not formally submitting the patches, just drafting the shape of fixes because again they were more "generated" and I was hoping a maintainer here could pick up things since this is a straight up regression, not a feature I'm arguing for.

But anyways to get things moving I posted the first patch narrowed to a 1-liner after I noticed we didn't actually need the copy_up change because we could rely on the side effects from `ovl_ensure_verity_loaded`.
