On closer inspection, when using firebug or chromium developer tools, it seems 
that the marker is indeed visible and present, but the streetview appears to 
overlay "on top" of the marker thus rendering it "invisible".

This is a live dump of the page with inspection:

<div style="-webkit-transform: translateZ(0px); position: absolute; left: 0px; 
top: 0px; z-index: 105; width: 100%;"><div style="position: absolute; top: 
1389238.9455955653px; left: 2734557.388888888px; cursor: 
pointer;"><div><div><div class="my-other-marker">I am flat 
marker!</div></div></div></div><div style="position: absolute; top: 
-1285.999999994412px; left: 1212.5px; -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(88, 88, 88, 
0.701961) 7px -3px 5px; box-shadow: rgba(88, 88, 88, 0.701961) 7px -3px 5px; 
cursor: pointer;">

<!-- This is the inlined html used in the example demo of Rich marker //-->
<div><div style="padding: 2px; background: #0f0">hello</div> 

    </div></div><div class="gmnoprint" title="" style="width: 49px; height: 52px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; opacity: 0.01; cursor: pointer; left: 1203px; top: -1303px; z-index: 1000000;"><img src="http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/api-3/images/cb_scout2.png" draggable="false" style="position: absolute; left: -245px; top: 0px; width: 1028px; height: 214px; -webkit-user-select: none; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; opacity: 1;"></div></div>

The CSS Path as shown:

#map > div:nth-child(1) > div:nth-child(1) > div > div:nth-child(3) > 
div:nth-child(2)

The XPath:
//*[@id="map"]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[3]/div[2]

Any suggestion or solution to make the Richmarker overlay properly on top of 
streetview?

Further to the said issue, here's two interesting linkys discovered that would 
somewhat explain this z-index problem:

http://philipwalton.com/articles/what-no-one-told-you-about-z-index/
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2682626/z-index-overlay-in-google-maps-versio
n-3

The second linky to S.O pointed out that the panes used in the onAdd prototype, 
for the highest stacking order is the floatpane.

To completely furnish this issue, it should be noted that I am using the 
non-compiled version of RichMarker.
