I put this on an overlay's before-string property

  ((margin left-margin)
   "1 php-mode")

but I see nothing in the left margin (with left-margin-width set to 20).

Is this a bug or do I misunderstand something? Doesn't it work for overlays?

try e.g.

(overlay-put ov 'before-string
	     (propertize " " 'display
			 '((margin left-margin) "1 php-mode")))


i.e. a margin display property on string that is the before-string 
you're putting on the overlay...
