Well, you want to analyze all data in a PDF file, be it reachable from the
root or not. This can be a valid requirement, e.g. for repairing files with
broken cross references or for analyzing the history of individual
documents. I don't understand, though, the need for this analysis merely to
find 'suspicious' objects (especially as your examples for such suspicious
object in general are not suspicious at all) without further motivation.

That been said, it of course is possible to try to read a PDF with no
consideration given to the cross references. As far as I know PDFBox has a
mode for reading PDFs like this (the other mode --- using the coss
references --- seems to be the more endorsed one nowerdays, though); it has
to choose if it finds multiple objects with the same object and generation
number. Thus, you might want to take that code as a start and instead of
chosing implement some comparison.
