It's only a problem if you let it. You'll get used to overlap. Shorter cranks might make it happen less, i.e. more clearance for more of your pedal arc. When you're trackstanding you ought to be turning your wheel the other way, anyway. When dodging through traffic, you get good at allowing for it, after a while.
Basically, just learn to cope with it. The advantages of having a tight bike are worth it.
