Funny how the answer is obvious once you ask.
I noticed the "Data Offset" was 2048 sectors.
On the newly-created md, it was 16 sectors, I think because it was a
device mapper overlay and not a real block device.
I found this page:
http://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/Linux_Software_RAID
Got the mdadm development version that allows setting data offset.
724 parallel truncate -s4000G overlay-{/} ::: $DEVICES
725 parallel 'size=$(blockdev --getsize {}); loop=$(losetup -f --show -- overlay-{/}); echo 0 $size snapshot {} $loop P 8 | dmsetup create {/}' ::: $DEVICES
726 cat /proc/mdstat
727 mdadm -S /dev/md127
728 ~/src/mdadm-40c9a66/mdadm --create /dev/md127 --data-offset=1024 -v -l 0 -n 4 $OVERLAYS
That fixed it up (data offset is in k, not sectors).
Cheers.
