Does anyone know how to add the new 8-bit Google maps tiles as an
overlay option?

Honestly dont know the legality of it, - and it will probably only work for a day, but you could perhaps just use the tiles directly

http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=8bit,m@174000000&hl=en&src=app&x=36&y=48&z=7 

Can use that in a Image Map Type

Well, I went ahead and did it anyway on a test map on my site. I'll
just leave it up there through April 1.

I did a quick hack to add it, so it overlays it on top of the existing
map images (which are then but not seen after the 8bit gets placed).

I wrote a post detailing how to use the 8-bit tiles in any Google Maps application: http://blog.bn.ee/2012/03/31/how-to-use-google-maps-8-bit-tiles-in-your-own-project

Looks great - what a pity there isn't matching Street view imagery
