The meter for the device is usually 90-94% and the meter for the cover varies depending on how long it's been since the last charge (and the cover meter and the home screen meter will match). When I pop my Oasis out of the cover, the meter on the home screen immediately tops up to reflect the device battery (90-94%), and the double-meters on the quick menu disappear.

That's what I see, too.

I suspect it always runs from the internal battery, and the cover just tops that up if it drops below 90--94% or so. This would make the wiring simpler and has no real downsides.

Indeed.
