Still, an Emacs overlay is a display object that replaces a possibly
empty buffer string with a possibly empty string. Any of these strings
can contain newlines but the overlay is specified only by the buffer
positions and the replacement string.

But you have the underlying buffer text at the time you create the
overlay I suppose. So what hinders you to get the size of the overlay
by using a temporary buffer, inserting the underlying buffer text, put
the overlay there, and calculate the resulting height?
