I do.  I'll be using them in preview-latex for the spliced image
stuff, and everything preview-latex does is done by overlays:
copy&paste does not transfer the images, so it should not transfer
the line compression.

I could perhaps get by by using text-properties on a newline tacked
into the after-string of overlays.  Of course this would mean
exercising the display engine pretty heavily, pushing my luck.  But
better now than after a release.
