1 In general: the overlap corners are perillious for any field located on tracer points.
2 They are never actively used in the model computation so the values there
3 can be meaningless in forward mode or in adjoint mode -- only the exchange
4 can make a difference there.
5 Using a regular lat/lon grid and exch "1", you find the expected value
6 (corner of another tile) but this cannot be expected in general.
7 In the Cube Sphere topology for example, the overlap corner values simply
8 do not correspond to a model grid point!!! The exch2 routines then put a
9 default value there or copy a neighboring value. This is true for XC and
10 YC after they have been exchanged for example.
11 => we are never going to use the values that are found in the overlap corners,
12 either for XC/YC or for T/S
