Further to this, I've just realised that 'layer takes a number, not an 
integer, so the variable overprinting of grobs in the same layer could be 
due to rounding.  In effect we have an infinite number of layers, but grobs 
with the same nominal value may be printed in either order.

The IR says the value should be between 0 and 2, but values outside this 
range seem to work fine, even -ve values.
