And as you can see, not more polygons, but actually less.

Hmm.  There's a couple of problems with your examples.

In overdraw2.png, you are having the quad intersect the circle exactly
at two vertices.  If the quad was a bit narrower, you would need to
split the two original triangles, retaining the part that is outside the
quad, and inserting a new triangle for the inside.

In overdraw3.png, the polygon which replaces the area of (Quad - Circle)
is a pentagon.  That needs to be split into a triangle and a quad.

Once you take these two problems into account, you get more polys, not
less.

I don't think we should have any rules against overlapping polygons of
the same colour.  That would impose far too much work on the parts
authors.

Not a Rule, just a "guideline", authors are NOT obliged, but they are
encouraged to do it, because it's better.

Too many obscure 'guidelines' will still discourage new parts authors.
