I too am puzzled about the so-called overcross.  The shop manual addendum mentions this on page 15.  There are two springs on my setup: 1) the extension spring serves to return the pistons and throttle to the idle position when you release the throttle, and 2) a torsion spring that is part of the rack that allows "overcross".  This second spring is quite heavy, but it does allow the suggested motion.
