It was fixed by setting the overlay 'evaporate property to t. In any case it seems like a change for the better. Previously all the gui-button faces would shrink to zero-length overlays and remain there, invisible, when the buffer contents were deleted and new contents inserted. I now see that a lot of overlays accumulated after may reuses of the same buffer. It sounds like THESE overlays should be set to evaporate. But I think MH-E should do that. I cc'd the MH-E maintainer.
