Does overhead remain if the legacy client deployment remains, and is it 100% added to 802.11n overhead?

Yes, the overhead of dealing with legacy clients is added to the 802.11n overhead. By definition legacy clients do not know anything about new 802.11n deployments and hence will not be able to take any action to avoid colliding with 802.11n stations. Therefore, all coexistence overhead – e.g., the higher-overhead mixed-mode preamble – must be borne by the 802.11n stations.
