The mystical answer is that there is a conflict when more than one
package is using something called "overlay-arrow-position". I don't
know the innards well enough to know if there is a real, true-life
fix, but you can do what I do whenever I get this problem from GNUS

regenerated by GNUS. I have used this enough times that it is almost
muscle memory, and it hasn't goofed anything up yet.
