Also, I forgot to include, that the alternate implementation using 
sparse copy to device, fails to achieve the benefit of supporting 
destination volumes of 2.1G->4.0G.

(and if you utilize a larger container, which has the benefits I've 
discussed at length in prior threads relating to persistence, this 
problem scales.  I.e. you might want a +10G container instead of the 
current +2G container, to support using 8GB of free space on your ipod 
as the persistent overlay device).
