(Get the code!)
Suv, ultimately the goal is to remove all the redundant objects. In the description I tried to focus on the problem, not the solution.
As for the solution, an automatic tool would be great but I can imagine cases where it will not recognize some of the redundant objects correctly (imported drawings often include strange things when object filling, transparency or grouping was used). It might be necessary to step in and rework parts of drawing manually but currently that's rather painful process (cycling through the whole diagram using a Tab key).
The feature you linked to is fantastic! That alone (almost) solves this issue. The only (but rather important) change I'd make to it is to stop it jumping from the bottom to top or top to bottom of the stack after arriving at the last or first object because if cycling in z-order is needed, the objects are likely to be hard to distinguish.
