Andrea,

Sometimes the libtiff, the TIFF library used by GDAL does not work properly
when creating files with compressed overview tiles if you are not using a
very recent version of libtiff.  Is it possible you are using a GDAL built
with libtiff 3.9.x instead of the internal libtiff or libtiff 4.0.x?

Would it meet your needs to copy the base image (without the -co
COPY_SRC_OVERVIEWS flag) and then regenerate the overviews with gdaladdo?

Best regards,
