Yes some do (think about Sigma Designs H+ or NetStream2000).
You are talking about analog overlay. 

But graphic accelerators providing hardware accelerated yuv buffer 
display with rgb conversion and scaling in hard also use a special 
color to make the ``digital'' overlay. (try the magnifying loop 
on any dvd player under windoze).

That may also be the case for cards using the ``feature connector''
(analog input on vga card).

Sincerely
