There is also a problem with using mouse-2 for the [back] button.  It clashes
with widget-button-click and generates an error:

  widget-button-click: Wrong type argument: consp, t

Ideally, I guess push-button and widget-button-click shouldn't be mixed.
Perhaps it can all be done without overlays.  Faces, for example could be
linked with buttons of type 'help-face-def.
