Why not?
I am not a big fan of someone cramming stuff on top of my backpack as I usually have electronics in it. But given its size, it would really only work with a jacket or other thin item anyway. But in any case, that would not stop me from taking my item out of the overhead compartment if needed (it might mean that Ihave to remove the other item first).
I take it the passenger forcing the bag on top of your briefcase didn't put your property at risk of getting damaged? (that I would protested about!)
