You were right. mmm-mode uses overlays and setting overlay priorities
seems to be the way to fix the problem. I can reproduce something
along the lines of what you described, when I specify a mmm-submode
region *after* I turned hl-line-mode on.

Shooting from the hips, this seems to fix it:

(add-hook 'hl-line-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (overlay-put hl-line-overlay
                         'priority most-positive-fixnum)))
