It's nice to know that I wasn't the only one to roll my eye's at the comparison…
My personal head cannon is that Clint and Natasha know, but the rest of the team (Tony, Thor, and Bruce) don't; Pepper knows as well but likes keeping it from Tony while Steve suspects something but is too busy to figure it out. Clint was really angry when he was told the truth but eventually calmed down and was glad that Phil was actually alive. Natasha was miffed but not to the degree that Clint was.
I think that the whole "Coulson's actually alive" secret is kinda like Torchwood-the higher ups thinks it's a secret, but in reality everyone knows but doesn't talk about it.
