This looks like an issue in emacs, rather than org. I think the right
solution is for a revert to delete all overlays. I.e.:

  (add-hook 'before-revert-hook 'delete-all-overlays)

This generally works, but is unideal because:


1. We'd want this to apply to org buffers, not to all emacs buffers

2. This works only if revert-buffer-function is nil or
revert-buffer--default.


If we don't want to delete overlays on revert, then
org-latex-fragment-image-overlays must be properly set to reflect the
overlay state, AND emacs should make sure the overlay is still valid on
revert.

Any particular thoughts?
