If you're using namespace::autoclean, your overloads will be removed from 
the package, leaving things the way you describe them.

Unfortunately, there was a decision several years ago to not fix[1] 
namespace::autoclean so as to enable it to play nice with overloading, so 
take a look at MooseX::MarkAsMethods (and -autoclean => 1) if this is 
indeed what's happening.
