It seemed to be from the vantage point of 8-up PDFs generated by our 
imposition app.  At one point I generated the PDFs of some single-page 
overlay elements with Distiller, and content that had been previously 
obscured (not directly because of Creator PDFs) reappeared.  But now I'm 
having difficulty reproducing this scenario so will have to revisit this 
week.  Stay tuned.
