One more clarification. From our problem description, are you saying
that in your runs, only the meta data from layer2 is getting copied
and not that from layer1 ?

I ran my sanity test, and saw meta data from both my layers copied ..
so I'm worried that I misunderstood the issue you are seeing.

But looking at the code, I can definitely do some minor tweaks in this
area .. I'm just trying to get the reproducer nailed down.
