Hi Ihor, yes, your glitches (1) and (2) make sense to me, given some
fundamental bugs I have uncovered in noverlay branch.

In some not-yet-commited debug code I have against the noverlay branch I
am seeing binary tree invariants violated.  For example, overlay nodes
in a binary tree with BEGIN positions that are out of range for the
subtree they are in, potentially caused by them being offset
incorrectly.  The algorithms involved are quite fragile.  These bugs
would cause functions like overlays-at and overlays-in to potentially
miss overlays, as well as for BEGIN and/or END to be in incorrect
positions.  This would explain both scenarios you describe above.

Polishing off this new debug code and getting it commited, as well as
fixing the bugs, is what I'm working on.
