I believe that the behavior should again depend on the insertion-type of the overlay's boundary. If point is just at the beginning of an overlay with a before-string and inserting a char will move the overlay's boundary, then the cursor should be displayed before the before-string. This was recently brought up when discussing code that adds a "=B6" at end of paragraphs (using a before-string property): the current code always displays the cursor just after this string, which looks very odd since typed text will be inserted before the string.
