The problem was timing only. My slow data source (RS-485 line with 
dozens of polled sensors) just did not fit in default 10s interval when 
I wanted to retrieve and submit 3 values per one myplugin_read() call 
(temperature-floor, temperature-ceiling, humidity). In this case 
collectd simply discards data, and it seems to be mentioned somewhere in 
TFM.

Upon rewriting the RS-485 polling daemon into completely asynchronous 
threaded scheme, recording works fine.
