Just went and tried this again. Now it's working. Must have been a typo. I blame morning fog brain. I'm going to use Jacque's time warp stack and go tell myself not to send that email.

Just to recap:

  -- save the colorOverlay settings
  set the colorOverlay_save of btn "foo" to the colorOverlay of img "foo"

  -- get rid of the colorOverlay
  set the colorOverlay of btn "foo" to empty
  
  -- restore the colorOverlay settings
  set the colorOverlay_save of btn "foo" to the colorOverlay_save of img "foo"
