I read that to overcome the lack of recombination in an invertion,
flies at each end of a cline can be crossed, but they must be
homosequential over the inverted region. What does this mean?

homosequential species: species with identical karyotypes, as found in
many species of Drosophila endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.
- King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics

IOW the inversions have to have the same gene order (or at least be similar)
