Thanks for taking the initiative to work on this.
A comment I saw raises a question:

    +    ;; Adjust the height of the default face to the height of the
    +    ;; images. Unlike XEmacs, Emacs doesn't allow to make the default
    +    ;; face buffer-local; so we do this with an overlay.

Why would it be useful to make the default face buffer-local
rather than simply specifying a different face on the text?
(such as with a text property)?
