That's odd, I just tried Notepad.exe in Wine and couldn't get Insert/Overwrite mode to work at all. Notepad++ has that mode, and it worked, but I can't find a way to use free cursor placement with it. LMK if you know fixes/workarounds for these. You reminded me, I think pedit, breeze (both really good) or one of the other MS-DOS editors I used earlier this year had that now that you mention it. But better desktop integration would be needed in this case anyway...
