That would be similar to the way we handle disabled elements, we call the overlay a proxy element.
I have logged an enhancement request at: http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=2744 The big problem here is that the inspector is injected into the HTML page and flash movies bleed through divs so I would need to cover it with an iframe ... the problem with that is that once it is covered it looks plain white. I will take a look at AdBlock Plus's implementation and see if I can use anything from there but I suspect that it will all be XUL and therefore will probably need to wait until the next revision of the inspector.
