See this is one of the things that was really counter-intuitive about the old system. It magically changed behaviour depending on the contents of the view. Adding or removing overlay or backdrop items could change the order and blending modes. You had to actually read the code to work out what it was going to do. The new system requires you to be explicit about how you want stuff drawn, but it does exactly what you tell it to do.
