Here's what Mike Bombich, Carbon Copy Cloner's developer, has to say:

The only thing I can say about that is that indeed, it's terribly inconsistent from one system to another -- some systems get a "bonus" forced CoreStorage modification while other systems do not. There has been a lot of chatter on various developer forums about this, and some people think they've cracked the secret (e.g. it depends on whether the Mac's Intel processor has AES-NI support, though the debate seems to still be open). That, of course, is the problem -- Apple doesn't document this modification. There's no warning given prior to installation, nor is there any explanation given afterwards nor in Apple's Kbase. As long as you behave as Apple expects you to -- never look back, never run an older system, always upgrade, upgrade UPGRADE!, you shouldn't have to be bothered with technical details like this.
