It is valid (and therefore replaces any previous OLR with the same report-type), but it immediately expires and hence is a way to signal “end of overload”.

That's effectively the same thing as invalidating any pre-existing OLR.  I don't think we need the text to jump through hoops to try to make that invalidation sound like a side effect. (And I note that this approach is common in other protocols, e.g. SIP registrations and subscriptions.)
