For me, running all of the above in a fresh “emacs -Q”, all three
characters (A, B, and C) get displayed with font
“-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO8859-1”. I
used “C-u C-x =” to find out what font is used.
By the way, I have no font settings for Emacs in my X resources.
Have you tried the example in a fresh “emacs -Q”? If so, what fonts
do the 3 characters get displayed with? Can you try it also with no X
resource font settings for Emacs?

Can this please be documented? Both that no “priority” property (or a
value of nil) is equivalent to a value of 0, and how priority works
for overlays with the same priority.

P.S. Here is the test-overlays macro again:
(defmacro test-overlays (&rest body)
`(let ((buf (get-buffer-create "xyzzy")))
(with-current-buffer buf
(display-buffer buf)
(erase-buffer)
(dolist (o (overlays-in (point-min) (point-max)))
(delete-overlay o))
,@body)))
