Isn't that precisely the reason Lennart made the request?
E.g. that mumamo buffers _do_ change modes repeatedly?

Whatever, this doesn't address the stated concern that the overlays
will now have potential for persistence where there was none before.

OK.
FWIW I think this will come back to bite w/re redisplay once mumamo
related code starts exploiting the feature.
Witness the aggressive leeway Lennart has taken w/ his linum "patch"...
