You have your answer in your question ! :)
the _alpha is set to 0, thus invisible but still with a _visible = true
property.
So check for also the _alpha value, not only the _visible value

Ok, got it. Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this but it doesn't
work with the third-party flash movie I am looking at. They have an
movie clip with _alpha set to 0 that covers the stage at a depth
higher than all other visible elements. As a result _droptarget is
always set to that object. What I need is something that takes into
account visibility.
Any other thoughts on this?

What he's saying is that _droptarget will tell you exactly what is at
the top under the users mouse - but in order to use it you have to use
startDrag to fool it in to working. Maybe you could drag an invisible
clip around or something.
