This code places two overlays on the same text, with each overlay
defining a foreground color. So which one "wins" is basically random,
unless you give each overlay a priority to make that deterministic.
I tried a simpler recipe:
emacs -Q
M-x load-library RET calendar RET
C-x b foo RET
C-u 30 a RET
M-: (defface yant/test-inv '((t :foreground "red" :inverse-video t)) "") RET
M-: (setq ov1 (make-overlay 24 26)) RET
M-: (overlay-put ov1 'face (calendar-make-temp-face (list :foreground "red" :weight 'bold))) RET
M-: (setq ov2 (make-overlay 24 26)) RET
M-: (overlay-put ov2 'face 'yant/test-inv) RET
This produced text with red background, according to the yant/test-inv
face. But if you define the overlays in the opposite order, you get
the red bold foreground instead. If you now give each overlay a
priority, you can control which face shows: the one whose overlay has
the higher priority.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I see no bug here.
