The `display' issue in `M-x report-emacs-bug' should be just as
relevant. And similar stuff.
Character widths might be relevant as well in some terminals, but that's
hardly something we could fix in Emacs.

Like I said, we have another completion package that does this (but the
authors refuse to assign copyright).
How will that help with the arithmetics? How is it better than the
one-overlay approach for the current situation?

Imagine that point is above the "If Emacs crashed..." display overlay.
There is no physical line below it where we can put an overlay with the
first popup line.
I suppose we could replace (propertize "\n" 'display txt) string that is
there with a fully made up overlay string, but a) it's less trivial than
you probably imagined initially, b) the buffer text below it is going to
jump up and down as the popup is shown and hidden.
With the one-overlay approach, we ignore that `display' property (so
there's empty space there when the popup is displayed), but preserve the
height in rows, so the other buffer text is not jumping.
