Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked logcat and reproducing the Android overlay click with Appium 2.0.0-beta.43, the Java client 8.2.0, and the stated Android 11 environment. Done means the crash cause is isolated and the overlay interaction no longer crashes under the reproducing conditions, with the reproduction details documented.
