The thing is, it does not matter. If you intent to muck the winner and table your cards on accident, you win the pot. There's no rule that requires a player to be able to read his hand. If you play with your eyes closed and turn over a winner at showdown, you win the pot.
It's actually a very simple and easy spot for the dealer. He doesn't have to worry about a player's intent (not that he should do that too often anyway) but only about following proper procedure for a situation at showdown where two players tabled their cards.
If a player doesn't want to table his hand, he shouldn't turn both cards face-up on the table. No matter if they are next to or on top of each other.
