Nothing prevents a WM (or any other client) selecting
SubstructureNotify to obtain notification of changes, and it will
receive notification regardless of the override_redirect flag.

It's only the ability to "veto" changes via SubstructureRedirectMask
which is limited to one client at a time, and overriden by the
override_redirect flag.
