In a compile buffer, I would think that one current error marker is enough.
Why do you need more than that?!

It is supposed to work, so if not, that's a bug.

Yes, ok, but you can still use it to point out the line as such.

If you decide to use your own overlay, I suggest that you keep the highlight
on the error message. I don't see a need to just highlight it briefly.
In any case, the highlight will disappear when you have reached past
the last error.
