If we're talking about math mode, then I think no overlay should be
added on them, and let `org-toggle-inline-images' display them
correctly. IOW, \(a^nb^n\) should be displayed as \(a^nb^n\).

It is, IMO, a bug in the current fontification, in which sub/superscript
handling leaks over math snippets.
