As an example, if this were the UA policy, you would be required to pick up your bags at HGK and then recheck them the next day because UA will not through-check "overnight".

This is the UA policy, not necessarily TG's:
Baggage will be checked to a customer's final destination or to a permissible stopover for the fare paid. Customers making connections which involve an overnight stay must claim baggage at the intermediate point and re-check baggage for the connecting flight on the following day.
There have been many times I have had overnight connections between UA and other carriers on flights to/from SIN and BKK and neither UA nor the other carriers had any problems with checking my bags all the way through.
