I talked to Torsten to tell him how much he didn't understand
what I was asking - the question isn't about overlays during
the animation (please don't request that!) - it's about showing
the wrong animation when the initial icon has an overlay.
Still don't know in which cases to disable the animation...

Well, the existing mechanism is quite unflexible, since it requires
adding a flag in the KIcon enum, some code in KFileItem to select
the overlay, and having an overlay pixmap (not your case). 

Any overlays will be "incompatible" with animations in that your additional
info will not appear during the animation, obvoiusly, but that's not a big problem.
