Thinking on this more, the full reachability check is no worse than what
a clone has to do to fetch the full repository. Here's a series that
does the full check. I'm not entirely happy with the performance,
though; details are in patch 3.

I think I'd be tempted to just go the more limiting "commit is
reachable" route, instead, which would solve your case (and most sane
cases).

  [1/4]: clear parsed flag when we free tree buffers
  [2/4]: upload-archive: restrict remote objects with reachability check
  [3/4]: list-objects: optimize "revs->blob_objects = 0" case
  [4/4]: archive: ignore blob objects when checking reachability
