I cannot answer this question, it's too general. And doesn't
company-mode use before- and after-strings, at least sometimes? Those
have BEG and END the same value, so you must hit that position to know
something's there.

That'll cause flickering, as users will see "incorrect" stuff
momentarily visible until the popup is restored.
Moreover, the "redrawn" part is in dispnew.c routines, called long
after xdisp.c did its job.
I think the only workable idea is to create a special kind of window
that is not part of the usual window tree, and let the display engine
consider those windows after the "normal" ones have been. Do popup
frames need to support windows, mode lines, etc? Or are they more
like tooltips -- one window and no decorations?
