There is another annoying bug with this stuff in that the glyphs get loaded
twice (look at emacs News for an example). I tried to fix this once but 
the bug is deep in find-file (I think) involves some interaction with
mode variables and you could break all sorts of stuff by fixing it.

Incidentally I did have a outl-mouse v2 that used extents instead
of outline to hide stuff. But I never got it in a releasable state
I have the code if anyone is interested.
