Fixing when SuperDuper! Smart Update doesn't appear to free up storage

This is an FYI for anyone else who hits this problem. Your mileage may vary.

But it also is doing no I/O to the this drive at all, so it clearly isn't working on encrypting it.

FileVault encrypting 1.5 TB in 1 minute!

I'm having a FileVault encryption anomaly, which is probably not due to SuperDuper! but I'm not able to figure out a Google search to reveal the explanation. I'm hoping someone has a clue.
