Alternative would be to fix the getRecordOverlay() to be able to work
with tables which are translated on other tables as well. This has been
explicitly left out in the code with this comment:

if (!$TCA[$table]['ctrl']['transOrigPointerTable']) {
  // Will not be able to work with other tables (Just didn't implement
it yet; Requires a scan over all tables [ctrl] part for first FIND the
table that carries localization information for this table (which could
even be more than a single table) and then use that. Could be
implemented, but obviously takes a little more....)

Any candidate? :)

Cheers,
