I'm guessing you may have been referring to something like: http://kestas.kuliukas.com/JavaScriptImage/ - this actually does seem to be a valid threat to IE6 and would go undetected by the measures proposed. Checking an image for <script> tags seems to the only way to check if IE6 will render it as html and whether or not it will cause problems. I don't know if the same vulnerability exists for pdfs - you'd have to check security sources for it.
