+I have a workaround that requires a small patch. I'm not sure why it's not creating the mapping, but I noticed that git annex fsck has a verifyDirectMapping which will create the mapping if it doesn't exist. 
+
+git annex fsck will throw an error on fixLinks and won't proceed to verifyDirectMapping if the map file doesn't exist. So, I needed a way to call verifyDirectMapping directly. My hack is to add an argument to git annex fsck to call verifyDirectMapping. 
+
+My workflow is this:
+
+**repo1**:
+[[!format  sh \"\"\"
+echo a > new.txt
+git annex add .
+git commit -m \"add a\"
+git copy --to origin
+git annex sync
+\"\"\"]]
+
+**repo2**:
+[[!format  sh \"\"\"
+git annex sync
+git annex pull origin synced/master
+git annex fsck --verifyDirectMapping
+git annex get .
+\"\"\"]]
+
+The new file comes down cleanly.
+
+I'm sure there's a better way to do this to fix the core issue, but here's how I patched Fsck.hs as a minimal workaround
