TypeMeta : Kind + ApiVersion are empty when the object is processed the first time

Bug

Original ticket : operator-framework/operator-sdk#727

When I create a Component's custom resource, the component is well created and the MetaData well defined (Kind, ApiVersion)

oc get cp/fruit-client -o yaml                
apiVersion: component.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: fruit-client
  namespace: my-spring-app
spec:
  deployment: innerloop
  exposeService: true
  runtime: springboot
  version: 1.5.16

but when the reconcile's function of the controller fetch the Component, then the Kind, ApiVersion fields are empty

What is the root cause of this issue ?

Environment

okd : 3.11 (= kubernetes v1.11)
operator-sdk : v0.1.1+git

Project

Code of the API : https://github.com/snowdrop/component-operator/tree/operator-0.1.1/pkg/apis
Code of the controller : https://github.com/snowdrop/component-operator/blob/operator-0.1.1/pkg/controller/component/handler.go#L94

Hypothesis

As described here I suspect that we have a deepCopy issue the first time that we get the object from the cache
