No, aggressive just controls the time we spend on repacking. If the
guess is correct that the objects are kept because they are unreachable
but "recent", then shortening the prune expiration time would get rid of
them. E.g., "git gc --prune=1.hour.ago".

That does not solve the underlying problem discussed elsewhere in the
thread, but it would make this particular instance of it go away. :)
