This is not clear. For example, linum.el makes empty overlays with
before-string properties and no display property at all. And this
works. So why shouldn't it work when there is a display property that
is the empty string?
Logically it ought to work, but do we have anyone who can debug it and
fix it? Would you like to debug it?
