Remember that I've never used ht-seq, but I'll assume that it's easy
enough to find the "bins" that result from an exonic region shared
between two different genes.
The way I'd handle these special cases is that I wouldn't handle them
at all and I'd likely prefer to remove those bins from my initial
analysis -- I suspect the number of such cases would be relatively few
when compared to the number of "kosher" bins.
HTH,
