On Windows 10 Mobile, it seems to do the right thing automatically, but I will continue tweaking it to see if I can explicitly offer the user the choice between 'button tray acts as an opaque overlay' and 'button tray occupies some of the viewport and triggers a reflow'; this is an area where I think different users will want different behaviours.
At least some devices (including my Lumia 640) will shortly get updated to Windows 10 for Phone. So I take it the issue will be resolved that way for me. Thanks!
