well, it does look slightly invasive … I had imagined something like a transparent text on top of the requested tile.  doing it the way you are doing it, you are removing part of the underlying information.  it is true that the user can zoom in or out, and the chance that the same are is also hidden is, as you state, 4%, but still. … did you experiment with a transparency added on top of the requested tile?  that's how I would probably do it, and I would only use the lower text, not the top icon and bold text, using a smooth opaque mask to make sure the text stays well visible, separated from the background.

in practice, I would only add what they need to add themselves, and not remove anything.

The reminder tiles is in available english and french:

I mix both at different locations on the maps.

Automatic attribution checking for one day of log files now takes around 20 minutes.

I'll clean the nginx config file and share it.

just 1 tile out of 25

very interesting experiment, and very amusing results.  bravo.

I would say that 1 in 25 is low enough as not to be considered "defacing" a web site.  what text have you used, concretely, which had the impact you describe?  in my opinion the shortest, the better, and I guess you did NOT use »It looks like this site forgot to put the required attribution in this map corner, so we added it for them. Thx for using OpenStreetMap !«, did you?  it was in French, wasn't it?

my best guess would be nothing else than the attribution text, and some help to solve their situation, or to get in contact with you.

I absolutely share the point of view "contact emails lead to no contact", and the "whatever works" policy.  this seem to work, so again, chapeau!

indeed, it would be interesting to see your nginx partial redirect.
