Debugging is notoriously difficult when events are read.  I usually have to
resort to adding `message' calls or similar.

See also bug (regression) #12232, which similarly was changed recently to use
`set-temporary-overlay-map' (and to use lexical binding), and which since that
change leads to the error "Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'".

No one has responded to that bug at all so far.  I located the commit that
introduced the regression, but debugging it further and fixing it is beyond me.
