It seems like a webpack configuration issue or a webpack bug. This plugin just reports issues that can be then consumed by the devserver and then displayed as an overlay. This plugin doesn't control overlay behaviour. It's a responsibility of the webpack-dev-server to respect the overlay: false option :)
