That's why I asked.

It is correct, because only one overlay should be used for displaying
mouse-face, and the code selects the overlay of the highest priority.
Since the recipe didn't define any priority for the overlays, Emacs,
somewhat arbitrarily, chooses the second one.

That would be the wrong thing to do, IMO. The mouse-face is not just
any face, it is designed for showing an "active region" of text, where
mouse gestures produce certain effects. Such region is also customary
has a help-echo defined to show the appropriate tooltip. It therefore
makes no sense to merge mouse-face definitions that come from several
different sources, because there could be only one action that will
happen upon those mouse gestures, and mixing several help-echo texts
makes no sense either. So Emacs shows only one mouse-face of several
possible ones.
