Well... You would expect removing a field form base, to remove the field from the base form, if you are working in base-development, but still retain it in the overlay.
I tried this. It was OK to remove it via DevStudio from the Base-form, and it is removed from both Base and Overlay (with overlaid view)... I have not done logging, so I do not know if DevStudio updated both the base and the overlay form.
