I have only the most surface knowledge of fdtoverlay, mostly from
"fdtoverlay --help", but you can apply multiple overlays with a
single invocation of fdtoverlay.  My _assumption_ was that the
overlays would be applied in order, and after any given overlay
was applied, subsequent overlays could reference the previously
applied overlay.

Is my assumption incorrect?

I think yes, if everything is in order then it should work just fine.

I was only suggesting that fdtoverlay accepting the base overlay with
/plugin/; may well be a requirement and so intentionally done.

No.  It's simply the result of the fact that a dtbo is still a dtb.
So, you can still apply an overlay to it.  However, a dtbo is a
weirdly structured dtb, so applying an overlay to it is very unlikely
to give you something useful.
