martin,

  you hit the nail on the head.

  what you said, in other words, is that in overwrite mode, one
  character should be replaced by one character, even with quoted
  insert.  *visibly*, something else might happen.  therefore, in
  overwrite mode, you should be able to go from "hunchen" to
  "h\207nchen" and vice-versa without having to delete any characters.
