As an alternative, would it be fruitful to use a Directory Wrapper

In the "What could go wrong here?" department, would my compound
file end up behaving like a directory (or worse)?
What could be worse? ;-) As long as you set the "package" bit it will
look like a file, as least on OS X. On other file systems it will look
like a directory.
The problem I think is that your file would cease to be directly
openable by any other program that reads PDFs unless they are aware of
your package layout, or can drill down into packages, which isn't
common.
