I don't have the time to investigate this now, but it seems to be related to
the problems I hit in April 2019 in PDFBOX-45 when I wasn't careful enough.
Search for the word "twice".

> Incorrect? handling of direct/indirect objects
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: PDFBOX-4541
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-4541
> Project: PDFBox
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Parsing, Writing
> Affects Versions: 2.0.14
> Reporter: Jonathan
> Priority: Major
> Labels: ready-to-commit
>
> We ran into some issues concerning blank pages in some of our resulting PDF
> documents. Investigation showed that some objects which were referenced were
> never actually written. We then noticed that these objects were never written
> because they missed the `isDirect` flag. We were able to mitigate this issue
> by adding
> {code:java}
> if (retval != null) {
> retval.setDirect(true);
> }
> return retval;
> {code}
> at the end of `BaseParser.parseDirObject()`.
> While the pdfs were now displayed correctly, QPDFs check reported erroneous
> hint tables. The offsets there were calculated incorrectly because the
> objects were now written not only once, but, in fact, several times in places
> where they should have been merely referenced. We eventually resolved this
> issue by replacing the if-condiction
> {code:java}
> if (willEncrypt || incrementalUpdate || subValue instanceof COSDictionary ||
> subValue == null)
> {code}
> in `COSWriter.visitFromArray(COSArray)` and
> `COSWriter.visitFromDictionay(COSDictionary)` with
> {code:java}
> if (willEncrypt || incrementalUpdate || subValue == null || !(subValue
> instanceof COSObject))
> {code}
