The impression I get is that much of the lessening of sharpness with oversharpening actually occurs in the honing stage. I generally think in Tormek methodology. Since the set up is held constant with the grinding wheel, either graded just fine for most work or starting graded coarse for deeper grinding before fine grinding, the knife remains unmoved in the jig. Neither the grinding wheel nor the support bar are moved.
At that point, if the support bar is carefully readjusted to maintain a proper bevel angle, the bevels should become more polished, but otherwise unaltered. This should apply with either the SJ 4000 grit wheel or the leather honing wheel.
Using the knife jig, if set up is careful, I don't see how rollover is possible. I can see it being very possible if honing is done freehand.
