Well, that's a possibility.  You could also just say "run the
write-region-post-annotation-function of the last buffer" and let the
annotation code do the work of accumulating the intermediate
write-region-post-annotation-functions in the last buffer's
write-region-post-annotation-function.

After all, this corner case never happens AFAIK, so there's no point
spending much time on it.
