Hi Raoul,

marker.getZIndex() returns the zIndex that you set on the marker. If you
have not set a zIndex on the marker, .getZIndex() returns undefined. Inside
the API, if you have not set a zIndex, we default to a zIndex based on the
marker's height on screen. That default zIndex logic recently changed which
may have broken your hover code.

I'll set up a demo page which brings markers to front on hover, to see if I
can replicate the issue you report.

Thanks
Ben
