Objectmeta of embedded object goes missing during CRD conversion

[champak]

Hi folks,
I ran into an odd issue with CRD conversion using controller-tools v0.2.4/kubebuilder 2.2.0/apiserver 17.1 This CRD has embedded native specs like the PodTemplateSpec in its spec. I found that in the conversion functions the ObjectMeta of the embedded PodTemplateSpec is nulled out. Other attributes look OK. There is nothing in the validation callback. I had needed to add preserveUnknownFields: false to the CRD to be able to deploy the yaml; not sure if that has some sideffect

The ObjectMeta for the CRD itself shows up fine. It is the embedded spec's ObjectMeta that seemed to be affected. Does this sound like any known issue ? One that looked somewhat related from a search was kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools#279 with comments from @DirectXMan12 but was not quite the same problem.
Thanks for any insight !
