Not knowing anything about this, are there any numbers on the power consumption of that extra blit?

I can't imagine it actually blits, it probably swaps buffers like everything since 2000.
No, it blits. Buffer swap doesn't work because Core Animation owns the entire scanout buffer. iOS apps don't have access to it.
