Is this overkill: Pop the windows out -- frame and all -- then put new butyl table on, all of the way around. Reinstall the frame making sure you've compressed the butyl tape. Caulk the outside of the frame if necessary.

Not overkill, you posted the correct fix. Anything else is a band-aid.
From my own experience this the only real solution. As Beemerphile said anything else is just a bandaid. It is a fairly simple job that won't take long to do. I originally paid Camping World to do this. Since we don't get much rain where I live it was some time before I found out they did not do a proper job. I applied the mentioned bandaids which worked for a while, but the problem did return. Learned my lesson and did the job myself the right way.
