Save yourself the headache and just wait 5-7 minutes longer at HKG.
My final destination is actually KUL, where I've waited over half an hour between the last priority bag and the first non-priority bag. I also have a commitment shortly after arrival that I'd rather not be late to, so I think I'll just re-check. Thanks for the suggestion though.
