So, I guess by overfilling it enough to completely immerse the oil cooler core, the oil is sloshing through the "window" where the scavenge & relief pipes enter the tank. Some must be being thrown, by the crank, onto the cylinders thus the additional smoke and consumption.

Seems wierd that the cooler core can't be completely immersed. This is a very level engine installation.
