Over the last 2 days, I've been working on this bug and pushed your patch.

I also significantly reworked and robustified the end-of-line overlay logic,
fixing the two bugs I had identified.

Then I also implemented your "and N more" suffix suggestion.  Just set
flymake-show-diagnostic-at-end-of-line to 'short'.

I'm closing this bug, but let me know if you are satisfied with the changes
or notice more points of possible improvement.
