This is the conclusion I've reached.

Oh my... Overlays... I'd completely forgotten that term... But that you mentioned it and that I recognized it shows something about our age, doesn't it... ;-)
But you're right, this is very much like the old MS-DOS (or was it CP/M?) style overlays of too many years ago. A program counter address isn't enough information alone to figure out a source file line, you need to know which 'overlay' - or kernel - is currently loaded.
