Yup, totally understandable.

I can reproduce the problem with yas-minor-mode enabled only in the C++ buffer.

But I *can't* reproduce the problem with highlight-parenthesis-mode
only in the C++ buffer. It seems global-highlight-parenthesis-mode is
required.

To clarify, yas--on-field-overlay-modification is *only* called as a
modification-hooks property of overlays that yasnippet creates.
Yasnippet never calls it directly.

Yasnippet only creates overlays after expanding a snippet, so this
should never occur in the *Messages* buffer (unless the user decides
to start typing and expanding snippets there). However, there are
several other packages involved.

Evaluating in the stackframe where the error is triggered:

(#<overlay from 1 to 1 in *Messages*> #<overlay from 1 to 1 in
*Messages*> #<overlay from 1 to 1 in *Messages*> #<overlay from 1 to 1
in *Messages*> #<overlay from 1 to 1 in *Messages*> #<overlay from 1
to 1 in *Messages*> #<overlay from 1 to 1 in *Messages*> #<overlay
from 1 to 1 in *Messages*>)

Afterwards it gives nil.

The "from 1 to 1" suggests overlays created by highlight-parentheses,
as I see it has a (make-overlay 0 0 nil t) call in a loop.
