The 'prune --expire' behavior is based on object mtime (i.e. file
modification time).  That is lost once something is packed right?

Yes. You would have to use the pack mtime. But of course you would have
to actually _leave_ them in a pack, or they would just keep getting
added to the new pack.

I had the impression that unreachable objects would not be packed. Maybe it
was more of an assumption.
