Not sure if you need this functionality or not, but if you set the clickable attribute to the polyline or polygon that you are creating to false then it should work fine for you again.
The problem would be as you said, the polygon/polyline is being created over the kml layer that you created. If it has a clickable attribute set to true it is going to capture the click event as opposed to the kml layer. This is one thing I miss with regards to the older api was that the map click event returned the overlay and the overlaylatlng, now click events just return a simple latlng. In the old api you could check against the overlay or just pull the overlaylatlng, but now you only get the latlng of the object you clicked on. Your polygon/polyline is at the uppermost layer and therefore it is capturing the event. As far as I know there is no z-index available yet in api v3 for polygons and polylines, only infowindows and markers.
