visual-line-mode doesn't care about newlines, when the stuff before
the newline overflows the window width.

Not here: I need to resize a bit the windows showing the overlays, in
order to see something similar to your images.

Are you saying that if you insert your test-string-1 and test-string-2
into the respective windows as buffer text, you see them displayed
differently than the overlay in the same window?  If so, I cannot
reproduce this: I see both the overlay and the buffer text wrap
exactly identically.
