I agree with you about not making nontrivial changes before the
release.  But I don't think that it is not worth the trouble in the
long term.  First, images are usually displayed using the `display'
property, and overlay strings are not shown before them.  Second, the
`composition' property shows the similar behavior as I mentioned in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2006-06/msg00119.html.
