In :field-overlay.  They are retrieved by `widget-field-find' via
`widget-field-start' and `widget-field-end'.  For the foreground and
background color fields I typically get within `widget-before-change'

#<overlay from 1031 to 1044 in *Customize Face: isearch*>
#<overlay from 1083 to 1093 in *Customize Face: isearch*>

before the notification and

#<overlay from 1083 to 1096 in *Customize Face: isearch*>
#<overlay from 1135 to 1145 in *Customize Face: isearch*>

after.  The difference is 52 as expected, hence these positions should
get relocated correctly.

The problem is that the FROM value of `widget-after-change' now points
into the foreground overlay and the TO value into the background
overlay.  I typically get FROM = 1090 and TO = 1143.  As a consequence,
`widget-after-change' concludes that I have edited two different fields
and throws an error.  I suppose this happens because signal_after_change
is called with arguments `opoint' and `PT - opoint' where opoint = 1090
and PT = 1090 + 52 + 1.
