I've tested with your patch.

I'm still seeing similar errors but anecdotally I seem to be seeing them
at a significantly reduced rate. (I can check properly if the rate
changes if that helps.)

Errors are still like this: (I applied Ted's debug info stuff on top of
your patch)

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the broken directories - here's
a snippet of the tar output:
tar: linux/include/dt-bindings/dma/axi-dmac.h: Cannot open: Operation not permitted

tar: linux/drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_init.c: Cannot open: Operation not permitted

The set of broken directories seems to be somewhat consistent if I rerun
the command within the same overlay mount (especially the first couple
of directories), but if I unmount the overlay, clean the upper and work
directories, and remount it, the set of broken directories is different.

Regards,
Daniel
