Hello Joe, 

Back on the SNRS version , yes, there is a new IP header inserted on the 
packet, but is exactly the same as the first one So it would be like this: 

  [Original IP_Header] [ESP Header] [Original IP_Header] [Payload]. 

Based on the documents that I have, it was done this way in order to mitigate 
routing overlay and to preserve Qos and Multicast capabilities. 

Check the following doc 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/vpndevc/ps6525/ps9370/ps7180/GETVPN_DIG_version_1_0_External.pdf

And look for:
1.2.2 Tunnel Header Preservation
