Maybe it would. Or maybe the package knows how to deal with that (it
wants the overlay to cover the whole buffer, for instance, and sets the
marker's advance-after property appropriately) or it just needs to keep
the overlay-buffer info to know in which buffer is the overlay.
Those are pretty silly ways to use an overlay. I won't say it is inconceivable
that any package does this, but I think it is not sufficient reason
to forego fixing this problem.
