Thanks for your input, Sanjeev!
It makes me wonder if the original glue was defective, or maybe one needs to do a real deep cleaning of the keyboard before applying the stickers?

I just found this interesting video from HHC 2011, where Eric Rechlin explains the design process, the materials options, and details of the final product.
Pity that the video recording was stopped just before Eric could show us the last part of his demonstration on how to apply the overlay on the HP-30B:
