UICollectionView not obeying zIndex of UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes

The effect I'm trying to achieve is a kind of sticky header cell. It's important to me that the sticky cell floats over the top of the others. Something a bit like this:

   ┌──────────┐
   │          │
   │  Cell 0  │
   │          ├┐
   └┬─────────┘│
    │  Cell 4  │
    │          │
    └──────────┘
    ┌──────────┐
    │          │
    │  Cell 5  │
    │          │
    └──────────┘
    ┌──────────┐
    │          │
    │  Cell 6  │
    │          │
    └──────────┘
Cell 4, 5 and 6 would normally viewable and I'm constructing the attributes for cell 0 in my UICollectionViewFlowLayout subclass during layoutAttributesForElementsInRect:. All I do is call the super implementation, determine which cell I need to add in and then construct the UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes(forCellWithIndexPath:). I then set the zIndex for it to 1 (default is `0`).

The problem I'm getting is that the UICollectionView seems to always ignore the `zIndex`

   ┌──────────┐
   │          │
   │  Cell 0  │
   │┌─────────┴┐
   └┤          │
    │  Cell 4  │
    │          │
    └──────────┘
    ┌──────────┐
    │          │
    │  Cell 5  │
    │          │
    └──────────┘
    ┌──────────┐
    │          │
    │  Cell 6  │
    │          │
    └──────────┘

Now I believe it's possible to visually sort this out using a 3d transform, but that doesn't work for me as I don't want any taps going to the cell which is over the top. So in this example I don't want Cell 4 receiving taps intended for Cell 0.

Does anyone have any ideas? This is on iOS 8.4.
