map.addOverlay() triggers an addoverlay event on the map (not the
marker). That may help.

It's possible that the addoverlay event will occur when the overlay is
added but before the image is completely downloaded in order that the
icon can actually be displayed. Try it and see. If that is the case
you could download the image separately and test for its arrival in a
separate handler function:
<img src="..." onload=handler style="display:none">

Using the image once its downloaded and adding to the map (from the
cache) will be almost instantaneous. You may need a combination of
listeners.
