OK, then it worked by chance only because in my test model every
region has exactly one solid and I looked explicitly for the hits on
regions (pt_regionp of the partition).

I like the "do whatever you want" part :) rt_silent_logoverlap() is
really extra-simplified, however what I did looks very similar to the
middle (and main) part of rt_default_logoverlap(). The call of
rt_default_multioverlap() at the end should be unnecessary in my case
because I don't want any additional call of a_hit and that's why reset
the region table.
