Org-mode relies on outline-mode for visibility cycling, and
outline-mode uses overlay to set the visibility of various parts
of the buffer.

Overlays are inherited at cloning time, but not each time they are
modified, either in the window displaying the base buffer, or in the
window displaying an indirect buffer -- while text properties are
inherited each time they are modified in any buffer.
