Well, it's been a long time since I did an accessibility audit - and indeed it was never my primary role, but yes, I would still do an audit if an organization insisted that they were going to keep an overlay.

Like any other accessibility issue, it's an opportunity to continue to educate. But I mean.. I often provided accessibility advice that was ignored, including cases where I thought the issue was entirely cut and dry.

Maybe I was just not as persuasive as I should have been!

Yes; especially if I was being paid to do an audit. If there was enough time in the contract I would audit the site without the overlay and then I would audit the very same site content with the overlay. The issue is that these overlays rarely if ever do anything, so such a comparison would point that out. Alas, its up to the client to decide what to do with the findings.
