You might want to look into the existing "need a way of showing some chrome UI over content" bug... I believe the short of it is that it can sort of be done if the chrome stuff is opaque. If it's not, it just won't work correctly no matter what you do with it, as things stand.

So how about as-things-change-in-1.9.2? Or is there another way to accomplish our goal of showing visual indicators of layout boxes in content without inserting new content (and hence disturbing the content we are trying to debug)?

It seems like support for chrome-over-content would be a generic feature of potential interest to many extension developers.

You may have luck with Firefox 3.0+ using a <xul:panel>, which (for now?) has its own native window. Be warned though noautohide with transparency may not correctly on Windows.

Of course this will block mouse clicks on the panel itself from going to the content document.
